Hi all,

Can anyone suggest who made this vise? It's an interesting design - I haven't seen one with this type of cast iron skirt and lugs to support the fixed jaw (I assume) on either side. I'm guessing it's intended for heavier duty as a result? I originally thought it might be a shop made skirt on top of a regular anglok style vise, but the skirt has a part number cast in (c5686). Googling that gives me nothing.

Just curious - I like vises!

Very cool! Thanks for the link to the patent, it does look similar (but not identical) to that. I wonder if it was a copy of a very early Kurt vise - or the company that would become Kurt, their name escapes me just now...

Thanks again,

Lee

I think what you're seeing as a tilt mechanism is just a swoop in the base casting? I don't see anything else to suggest it tilts, but it's all WAGs based on a single picture....

Leeko: So, I assume that this vise is not in your possession, you only have the pic?

I think the pre-Kurt vise was made by Muggli .
