Kurt Manual VersatileLock Vise, 8" - 3800V-SD

Manual VersatileLock Vise, 8"
www.kurtworkholding.com www.kurtworkholding.com

This vise weighs 148 pounds & differs from the standard Kurt 8” vise in that it can either be mounted on it’s bottom or side.

This is their old (i.e. “non-DX”) style, but this model has not (yet?) been discontinued.

In other words, if Kurt ever makes a DX style of this vise, the model that I just bought will be discontinued.

one thing about the HF press is how small they are. There was a USA company, and they shipped theirs by pickup truck. I was traveling across to Indiana, we started late, so we stopped for the night. Saw a bunch of trucks with presses and other equip.. was talking to the guys, got up in the truck and they were much bigger.. They were also way more expensive. I don't remember the brand.. but it was $$$... RED of course... I can't remember what the other equip was.

I think I would put a HF on wheels, and mount a piece of ply underneath to prevent a hard landing on the concrete floor. The idea of a shaft dropping out and hitting concrete... not so nice.

If you know what you are doing, this does not happen, unless it is a 50+ ton press.....

I have had shafts release suddenly from my little home made bentchop unit... so I can't imagine that a 20 ton won't... especially one so short where you have to bend over to grab the bar..
 
Good video... so that you can buy...
I did buy , then cancelled, then bought a different one, now thinking I made the correct decision the first time... :rolleyes:

Well… I was the first to reply… told the seller that I would pick up at 3… he was not back until 12 anyway and said it was fine to pick up at 3. Guess what!? Messaged seller before 3 to let him know that I was on my way to pick up and he replied that he had sold it….

Oh well, guess he was in a hurry….

I can keep looking
