One of my vices is vise/anvils, an abused Rock Island Manufacturing anvil/vise


   Interesting and very abused Rock Island Manufacturing anvil/vise. It looks like there is a quick adjust feature, in that the screw block slides on the same track that the jaw does, that track appears to have been replaced. The anvil portion has seen a lot of use, and it appears someone has broken and welded the jaw to the anvil. It's for sale in Winnipeg here

From the drawing, it looks like the anvil end does the big adjustments; the other end makes sense, a bit like a lathe tailstock. D.
