When it rains, IT POURS! I picked up a very nice Emmert Turtleback a couple weeks ago. I'm about to repair a crack in the casting, repaint and mount that vise when this one comes of for sale locally. I was intrigued when I saw the listing and went and checked it out. As soon as I saw the underside I pulled my money out. It's an absolutely awesome quick release system that I was not anticipating based on what I saw in the listing photos.
Any idea who the maker is of this vise? It's got a massive 9" hand wheel, 12" wide jaws, 4.75" deep and 10" opening.
I'm really looking forward to refurbishing it and getting it mounted up to my bench. I'm going to run the Emmert as my front vise and this vise and my tail vise.
