Snediker's Rapid Blacksmith's Leg Vise. Peter A. Frasse & Co., 92-94 Fulton street, New York, are now manufacturing at their Yonkers, N. Y., factory Snediker's rapid blacksmith leg vise here shown, which has been improved in several respects, since originally described in these columns. It may be opened or closed to extremes instantly, and can be adjusted to any diameter of work by a single turn of the screw. The double sliding rack bar of steel, now kept in correct position by upper and lower front lugs, leaves a clear opening between the jaw centers, so that long material, bolts, rods, &c., for example, can be firmly gripped in a vertical position; there being no long horizontal screw exposed to clogging by filings and dirt. The short adjusting screw is capable of powerful operation against the front jaw. The connecting strap has a stationary pawl in the rear end that articulates with the teeth so that work can be quickly engaged at any point. The coil steel spring at the base of the jaw members automatically throws the front jaw forward and against the material to be held when released by the hand, and is protected from falling accumulations of matter. Owing to this construction the front jaw has less lateral motion and holds more rigidly than is possible with the customary box and long screw design. The steel jaw faces, another improvement, are interchangeable; said by the manufacturers to be found only in this make of leg wise. The strains on the screw are always direct regardless of the size of work held, thereby eliminating side wear on the screw. The strap straddling the front jaw permits of having the entire front jaw of solid cast steel instead of weakening it by cutting away metal for the passage of a large screw through The wise made 12 sizes, numbered 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150 and 180, the jaws ranging from 3% in, wide. This house has also recently taken over the manufacture of Snediker's rapid bench vises, and the complete line of Stephen's patent quick action vises. |
