I picked up asaw vice today. There is a 40 in the middle ofthe front jaw. The jaws are 9" long. Any idea who made it? I need to get some photo editing software to shring the image.

>Need more info - there were numerous makers of 9" saw vises. Tell us about the clamping mechanism - lever or spiral? Clamp to bench or screw onto a board?

>Hi David,

The back jaw has a winged screw at the bottom of it. It pushes the bottom out and it levers the top of the jaw in. The wings on the bolt are arched with a cone that comes to a point that is just proud of where the wings meet.

It clamps onto the bench. The opening is 2" and there is a swiveling pad on the screw like a c clamp has. The bolt on the clamp is larger but simular wing shape to the one on the saw jaw.

There is a 6" curved handle in the middle of the vice that you can use to adjust the angle that the saw is from the board that the vice is attached to.
