ATHOL VISE 4" COMBO, 324X, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!
ATHOL VISES GO BACK AS FAR AS THE MIDDLE/LATE 1800'S. GUYS, HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE! I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS ATHOL CAME OUT JUST BEFORE STARRET ACQUIRED THEM. THE LIKE NEW JAWS LOOK NON REPLACEABLE BUT IT HAS THE TYPICAL STARRETT SWIVEL HANDLE. DATES I'M NOT SURE, MAYBE SOMEONE CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC.
FELLAS, I FOUND THIS VISE ON A SHELF IN A DRY BASEMENT AND KEPT IT IN MY PERSONAL STOCK FOR A GOOD WHILE. I DID NOT PAINT IT, USE IT, OR TAKE IT APART, AND DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE ORIGINAL COLOR. I DID GET THE SURFACE RUST OFF OF THE HANDLE. OUTSIDE OF SOME WHITE OVER SPRAY AT SOMETIME IN ITS LIFE, ITS "LIKE NEW". THE 4" SERRATED JAWS CLOSE PERFECTLY, OPERATION ACTUALLY IS TIGHT WITH 1/2 TURN HANDLE RESPONSE. ITS GOT REMOVABLE PIPE JAWS THAT I DOUBT WERE EVER USED. HONESTLY, SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THIS VISE HAS EVER BEEN MOUNTED ON A BENCH. QUESTION, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A ATHOL THAT NEEDED COPPER LINERS?
SPECIFICATIONS, LENGTH 17", OPENS 5+", HEIGHT 10 1/2", WEIGHT 62 LBS, JAWS 4"
