Hello this is my first time here and would like to ask if anyone could till me what this is or used for? I found it In A box of tools at an auction, thanks
I THINK it is a vise for holding a saw blade for sharpening - but if the grips fit together with a concave and convex fit it is NOT a vise for holding a saw blade for sharpening - hard for my old eyes to determine.............
They do fit together in a concave convex manner. But that was better then what I thought of, which was, what is it
That's a good as any guess Manson's! I can envision using it that way but would rather have hands on it to fiddle with it. ~ Welcome Mike! Do you have a saw to try this? If it doesn't hold a saw with the teeth up and stable then...maybe not...but then> > http://www.vintagesaws.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_12 > http://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/GT-SAWV > http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=hand+saw+vise ~ Apparently the casting is treated to be somewhat flexible and will move under leverage to tighten on the saw. So....... MANSON'S gets the 'Best Answer award'. At least from me he does.
Welllllllll... my ol' man is a vintage/antique tool junkie... and he sezzzzz... it's some kind of opener, probably very specialized to a certain industry. He also said some stuff about how the top thingie screws down and the bottom thingie pivots and... I lost him after that.
While puzzled by the concave/convex halves of the clamp, I still beleive this to be a form of saw sharpening vise: https://www.google.com/search?newwi...0...1ac.1.64.img..3.5.609.MY0n2k_nUrU#imgrc=_
