What machine is this from?
Cleaning up the shed and found this vise, wondered if anybody knew what it was off.IMG_20201215_145918.jpgIMG_20201215_150038.jpg

^^ What he said - it's a Waldown vice - reasonably sought after, the last couple I saw sold in the $300-330 range iirc.
It's on my bucket list of things to refurb and add to the website.

Yes, Waldown (drill press) vice. Here's some inspiration from WA if you feel the need to repaint.

It's a drill press vise, not really suited to a milling machine.
KrynTo grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

I've got a 150mm Vertex for the mill, so the Waldon can go here. They're probably about the same age .

I think the thing on the left is a centre of some sort that would be used with a dividing head or similar - interesting minimalist design.
The item on the right is another vice but that one looks to be a shaper vice. Not all that common. Could be used on a mill, but designed particularly to resist forces when used on a shaper.
