DR99 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't know why but I think it would be awesome to have one of these. Clean it up and put it to real use.http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/westbrook-high-school-vise-255369/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 It was crazy what they were teaching at vocational schools back then!!http://www.wewilliams.net/docs/How%20to%20Make%20an%208-inch%20Bench%20Lathe%20in%20the%20School%20Shop%20-%201920.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 If it was made AT a high school, I'm sorry I didn't go there. Seems more likely it was cast FOR the school. Of course I may get surprised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just skimming over the article it looks like some trade schools made their own vices as a teaching lesson. You would never see that going on in todays school! Having kinds cast and forge a tool is freaking crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The year after I graduated high school our department got a couple CNC machines. Man I could have really been dangerous with those!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone ran the cutter too far into the work peice and hit the chuck which broke the bolt that holds it on. After I left our high school shop the 3d printer they ordered finally arrived. That would have been cool to mess with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
