Built different than conventional style vises, the Palmgren combination anvil and bench vise combines the following key design features. On the anvil is the horn, a step, the hardened face, and a hardy hole. The vise comes with replaceable serrated jaws, pipe jaws and a precision machined slide bar. Perfect for flattening or forming a wide range of metals, this brawny cast steel anvil and vise are carefully machined to provide exceptionally smooth working surface as well as secure safe clamping. They have a place in maintenance shops along with the shops of blacksmiths, farriers and iron workers as well as for any craftsman or fabricator who demands a solid surface for fabricating architectural details, artwork and other custom metalwork.
