Watch for the muzzleflash!
Is there a base that's available to bolt to the bottom of a standard vise or is that a fabrication type deal. Just wondering, for what I'm going to need in the space I want it. I'll want it to swivel.

If I don't get my vise back I may have one available and it looks like it would accept some bearings and a plate.


Thoughts?

I think worst case I just buy a HF chicom for my needs anyway.

And as far as fab goes, that also falls in the category of getting my welder,Popsicle sticks,sidewalk chalk and rubber bands back as well...

Just trying to lay out my bench for things to fit in the new space wether I have to replace them or get them back.:whistle:
 
Some milling machine vises can accept a swivel base.....my bench vise has a swivel base.
As far as adapting one to an existing vise that doesn't have one......:dunno:
Do you have a pic of the vise?
 
Yeah I can snap one later. Doesn't look too difficult but like I said, at this point it'd have to be fabbed using popsicle sticks and duct tape.:doah:
