Title: Palmgren Cross Slide Vise
Post by: Yadda on September 11, 2025, 12:43:56 PM
This is a 3-inch Palmgren cross slide vise. I wanted a cross slide vise for a while, but I couldn't justify the price  against the actual very low need.  Then I bought this one in an online auction at a price I could justify.

It needs cleaning, but all the parts seem to be there and work as expected.  I plan to mount it on a drill press for now.

And a Palmgren!  Color me envy green.  My cross-slide vise is from an unmentionable country.

My largest vise isn't native. It was cheap and functional for my needs.
