Found an old bench vise in an old tool shed on my property.
Tore it apart trying to clean it up, but found a piece of the casting was broken off.
Not sure if it's repairable if I can find the missing piece or not.
I did find, however, it incorporates a Gib.
The piece broken off broke right in the middle of the gib screw hole so even if I find the piece, I doubt I'll find the gib screw.
This is the first vise I've ever seen with a gib for adjustment. Any idea what it is ?
Looks to be a 4"-5"...
