Clamp on vises

[RedVise]

John K  asked about a clamp on vise in another thread.
I don't let those get away if possible.

Heres a couple, mostly USA made. I had to expand to another shelf.
There is also a shot of my working vise, clamp on of course! It's holding the dynamic jaw of a big Simplex I am working on.
There's also my Littlefield wood vise at the other end. That one doesn't see much action.

Great collection! Very cool

   There is a sawhorse vise (rt angle vise) in the center bottom of the first pic. Does this have a name on it?  It looks to be sturdy cast iron. 
 I've been looking for a good sawhorse vise, but don't have any names to go on with

Columbian made a cast iron sawhorse vise.  Like an idiot, I walked past one at an estate sale, because I was so excited by having found a Duro 16" bandsaw with base for $50 that there was no room left in my brain.

Scott the vise you are looking at is not common, it is a quick release wood vise,
 I think Mikeswrenchs posted the patent for it previously.

Look at the last pic, Littlefield wood vise I have been happy with, solid construction.

Never heard of a quick release sawhorse vise!
  I must admit it does look kind of dangerous, with the front spindle sticking out so far, to grab you in unpopular places as you innocently waltz past.   

 There is a copper colored vise in the middle, Majestic? I expect it was made by Littlestown since it looks so much like them. Anyway I had to pull the pic into photoshop and blow it up for a closer look. 
  I had a Littlestown vise that looked really similar (which I used for years then eventually broke doing something stupid). But anyway mine had a hole in the flat anvil part, and it had a hardy in it! A vise that small with a hardy!?!
 I kept the hardy. Was going to offer it to you

Scott, use the photoshop to take a look at the Littlestown vise in the rear upper right, first pic.
I kept that one because someone broke it and repaired it. Drilled thru the side and pinned it, and drilled and tapped  it from the bottom, going thru the plate you can see the end of. I didn't want to trust it to use, but appreciated the effort the PO went to.

Also look at my working vise, it's got a hardy Hole in it ! I'll trade you for the hardy ?

What is the diameter of that hardee hole?

Hey whattdayarecon??
 Here I was suddenly in a panic after running off at the mouth.
"Oh crap I haven't really laid eyes directly in that little hardy for maybe 10 years. I know where it was the last time I saw it, but my metal bench is piled with too-good-to-throw away metal scrap now."
  So I grabbed my shoes. Headed down the stairs to the shop.
Walked directly to where my mind told it still was and, f--k me, reached out and picked it right up!
  Just like it was nuthin.  Happened last week. This kind of thing happens everyday, everyday.
 Hell I know where everything in this shop is!!! heehehehheheh

 The post is 3/8" and the outer diameter is 3/4"


  Uh, btw, I still didn't find the Stanley #67 spokeshave base that has been missing some years now.
