    Scale Model Precision Grinding Vises

    This is my first attempt at posting on this site for over two months since I suffered a stroke and seizure back on 10-31-2018. I am slowly recovering and It sure feels good to be back on this site although I am not yet making chips out in the shop.

    I built this set of scale model precision grinding vises about 50+ years ago based on the well known Herman Schmidt vise. The larger vise is 2/3 scale and the smaller one is 1/2 scale. I have used them since they were built and they still serve me well today. They are precision ground to size and square to within .0002". Enjoy!!
