This high precision toolmakers screwless vise has a one-piece body. The body and jaws are hardened to Rc 58-62. All sides are flat, square and parallel to 0.0002". There are horizontal and vertical vees on the inside face of the movable jaw to hold round objects.This screwless vise has slots along the sides so you can clamp it to the mill table with a clamping kit.but:
The jaws are 1.357" deep and open to 3.94" capacity.
The vise is 7.72" long, 2.76" tall and 2.875" wide.
These vises have blemishes, cosmetic defects, and/or light rust, but function normallyWhat I received:
They appear flawless to me. There is some light protecting oil of course.
Frankenvise is fine for the largest projects where the extra fractions of an inch in jaw opening matters, but this will be what I use most of the time. It is like a bigger, easier to use version of Sherline's 2" vise.
If the work piece is too tall for your mill when mounted in this vice, you may be able to flip it on a side to get the part down to the table surface. Might need to clamp the part before clamping the vise down to the table, as there isn't any slop in the sliding face/block, so it may bind up before you get clamping force. Neat design that incorporates downforce into the clamping setup, so the sliding block doesn't lift.
