Holy Cow That's Big!

the funny thing is that my mill could probably sit on the other jaw and still not touch your mill! :grin big:
 
Years ago I was in Chicago at a machine tool show and was amazed by the size of a WOTAN horizontal boring mill they had set up. Memory says it was about 3 stories tall but it was a long time ago. It had a conditioned operator cab that rode with the spindle. :eek:

The vice on this thread would have appeared tiny on the bed of the WOTAN.

I had never seen any machine tool that big before. I really don't know anything more about the brand since it was outside our needs. I was astounded.

It looks a lot like the one on my 24" shaper, only larger Does the wrench fit on a hex taper? Does clamping the vise on the table lock the swivel? If so it would seem to be a Gould & Eberhardt. How long are the jaws?

the vise is perched on a 40"X 36" heavy pallet.
the wrench looks like 36"+ in length, i really don't know if it is on a tapered shaft.
i didn't see the vise in operation, i can't really see if it locked or was able to swivel.
the jaws appear to be 36" long :grin:
 
That must have come off something like a 48" shaper, about as big as they get.
