That may be the snazziest vise/clamp kind of thingy I have seen yet. (Seriously, though. Very well done. And I'm especially gratified that you stand up for the dignity and craft of stick welders everywhere.)

Thank you very much for the comments!

I supposed to make a short video about making "tooling" for this. But i have fever. So, i decided to leave it for now.

Here is some pictures.

As you see, Half V shaped jaws works nicely for holding different shapes.

Of course, sometimes you need bigger jaws too.

These holes and this latch is to allow mounting of optional jaws / tooling.

Attachment 34461 Attachment 34462 Attachment 34463

Also, Red jaw can be turned 180 degrees, and clamp can be used for pulling / spreading too.

Attachment 34464

Example, for rounding elliptical pieces etc.

Attachment 34465

For this purpose i will make " L shaped hook ", that will be bolted to that front jaw.

So, there is the whole idea.

Thanks for checking it.

Hope that fever is gone, it isn't something you want to get right now.

This might be a simple machine but it could easily be one of the better ideas I've seen on here for anybody involved in fabrication. The problem with traditional vises is that they really don't hold structural shapes well. I can see where your half Vee jaws would make for a far more secure hold on square tubing, especially lighter stuff you don't want to deform.

Thanks. I am fine now.

Half v works with plate's too. It could work nicely in drill press vise.
Machined & hardened jaws with accurate half V slots could be useful in machining too.

That is just an excellent concept and idea brought to life. Simple, Elegant, designed with ease of set up and replacement in mind.
