GREAT Shop Vise Testing Video

[seafish]

A competent machinist tests 14 different shop vises, including the vise that he fabricated himself, for clamping force, impact resistance, and failure point.

Informative and also fun to watch if you have 30 minutes to kill.

Very interesting some very poor design vises, and was full to watch, thanks.

I also thought that the vise that he himself designed and built was beautiful and highly functional.

I decided to post the link to the video of his "Fireball" vise build !!!



Finally a vise with a 16" throat and 16,000 pounds of clamping force !!!
