The Tucker Vise by Veritas®
Do you have a Tucker vise? I would like to use your photos here.

The Tucker Vise was designed
by Edwin Tucker and Leonard Lee and patented on July 7, 1992. See United
States Patent No. 5,127,639. The Tucker vise is made
primarily of
ZA-12 material which is stronger
than cast iron, less brittle and much lighter. The vise jaws are 8" x
13" and open 12". The vise weighs 50 lbs. One of the handy features of
the Tucker vise is the automatic opening. This is by either the top-release bar or
by foot
pedal. The hinged mounting angle or plate is unique in that it mounts
to the face of the bench. The metal faced jaws stand up taller than the
Emmert vise. The vise dogs are round and rotate to accommodate odd
shaped objects. This handsome vise is thoroughly designed and very well
crafted. |
