although the yoke was always forged I think, the plate and yoke block part is what would have been cast. The plate does look shop made, and probably, being forged, is much tougher than the cast originals.
The vise sure looks similar to the one in the Ebay auction otherwise:Well, they ALL look like that, pretty much, that's the issue, isn't it?īut yours and the auction one have very different-looking "nuts" for the screw. Will Bastas told me the bench mounting plate was shop made (uses wedges) - he said it was common for the plates to be swapped, and remade. Either the ebay is a Columbian replacement part on anotehr vise, or maybe the whole thing really is a Columbian.Ĭolumbian made nice vises, but the no-name I plan to keep for sure is a lot bigger, it's a 5 1/4". For that matter, the entire spring assy in the ebay listing is more like one for a "wedge box". Maybe this is older, or newer than the cast ones, or the ones with the u-bolt attachment. However, the C and triangle does seem to be a trademark. It shows evidence of having been split, and the tails formed around a pin. But no actual name, and the attachment of the bench plate is completely different to this on all the Columbian vises I have seen.Īlso, the housing in the jaw for the screw is a little different to the Columbians I have seen. the "C" in the triangle is the same in each case. I don't see why they would have failed to do it on this one.

My Champion drill press has their name in full along with "warranted" and other verbage.
