  • Studebaker hydraulic bench vice

    I just discovered a Studebaker hydraulic bench vice, no hand crank, a hydraulic cylinder pushes the jaw shut. Does any one know anything about this? When it was made? I'm guessing the 40's, war time maybe. The casting says "Studebaker Machine Co. Maywood, ILL.

    Hi studeynut, Welcome to the Forum, I am sure that some one can tell you some thing on the vice. I know that Studebaker made tools. Do you have a picture? Gene..

          Maybe this will work. I'm afraid it may be oversized, sorry.

              Thanks Bob for the help with the picture. Its 26 inches long and 6 inches wide at the base, with air I can close the jaws, the spring pulls it back open, fun to play with.

                That is really nice and the fact that it still works!makes ya wonder what else was and may still be around in the way of tools with STUDEBAKER on them?

                  I have a couple of those types of vises from my grandparent's machine shop. They operate in the same manner where you pump one end to push fluid to close the vise shut. When you want to release the part you flip the lever up and push back on the jaw. They aren't Studebaker but they are small quick on, quick off, machinist type of vises.
