GILKERSON'S PLANER VISE.
The construction of this vise is shown very clearly by the two engravings. It has a graduated base and swivel jaw, operated by a single screw. It will be seen from the sectional cut that the operation of screwing up the loose jaw forces it down to the bottom plate, thence thin pieces may be removed and replaced, and come back true.
The head of the screw is made five-faced, so that the first wrench at hand, perhaps much too long for the purpose, will not be used instead of the proper wrench.
These vises are made in nine sizes, from 4" to 24" width of jaw, by the Gilkerson Machine Works, Homer, N. Y. |
