What is the real name for this vise?

[Bill Huber]

Mods please move this to where you feel it should be.

I know this is not really woodworking but I didn't know where else to put it.

I am wanting to get this out of the shop, don't use it, never did, it was my Dad's and when he past away it got put in my truck and I really done have a use for it.

The problem is I don't know what it is really called, I can't find one on the nest that looks like it.

So what is it really called?

No wonder I could find one I was calling it a vise.

Thanks.

If I saw something like this at a yardsale, I would be all elbows to grab it. I don't know what I would do with it, but I bet it could be rigged up to make lots of things, maybe wooden knobs, rosettes--- round stuff.

Or pencil holders, who knows. For me, it would be a keeper.

finials, using a carbide burr and drill press. to me it looks like an x-y sliding table with rotation. With this and a drill press and some carbide burrs from grainger, you could make all kinds of things; I would think twice about getting rid of it.

Bill,
That rotary table would fit nicely on my mill or heavy duty drill press. Can't think of too many wood working projects I would use it for.

Do you know what Palmgren wants for an 8" table like that...... $917.

that's not a vise... its a decorative rust garden. meant to go on your back porch and scintillate in the sunlight.

Palmgrens were re-labeled and sold by Sears in the 1950's and 60's. They were never great products,and always very over priced.

That one would be good for hobby work,but with all those slides,and stacked components,they aren't very rigid. I have one in the shop that I've had for ages,never use.
