Hi All,

Went to the Yeovil Steam Fair today for a root around and found a few goodies.

The most challenging one is this moveable jaw Swedish Machine vice which has been a bit neglected!

Had a smaller one a while ago and it did rather well so will have to see how this one comes up. Cannot remember the name and the label on this is obliterated as well.

Martin – I have one similar … and in similar condition – at least, it was until I soaked it in Vaporust(?). Cleaned up quite nicely again. The rust on mine was residual from salt water immersion and poor storage but, when it was useable previously, it was invaluable. The separate gripping layers and their variety of shapes make it possible to securely grip almost any shape – super bit of kit!

Looks well designed, I like the y-shaped hold-down slots.

Terribly expensive to buy new.

Wow, the first time I have seen one of those.
