For your consideration: An Extremely Heavy Duty and RARE Rotating Twin. Jaw Bench Vise made by Swinden’s in the UK… A top of the line vise! One set of jaws is 4 inch straight, and the other is 2 1/2 inch curved. Jaws open to 4 inches plus. Body rotates a full 360 degrees to hold the workpiece at any angle, perfect for. Welding, cutting, or just about any job you can come up with… Been used by Engineers, Mechanics, Blacksmiths, Gunsmiths, and even the. British Army Engineers (REME). They make newer versions of this vise, but they. Are not made anywhere nearly as robustly as this unit… It’ll take a proper beating. Vise has been disassembled, cleaned, any visible accessible rust mechanically. Removed (power wire brush), lubricated and reassembled. Main screw turns freely and smoothly, and the T-handle is straight and very strong. The rotating cylinder moves freely, and the original locking wrench is included. Overall size is 15 inches (38 cm) long fully closed x 7 inches (17.8 cm) wide at the. Base x 8 inches (20.3 cm) high from the bench top. There is a small anvil pad on top, and the vise is mounted to the bench by 4 holes. Provided in the base. As mentioned earlier, this is a heavy-duty vise, weighing in at about 48 pounds (22 Kg). Vise has the expected dings that you would see in a vintage vise, but the jaws are straight. And it is in good condition given it’s age… A great example of good old school British engineering. It is ready to mount and use, or just display it to show off to your friends. Please see all photos for condition. Check out my other auctions for more fantastic deals on more.
