Hi.
This is my idea about the "ultimate" vise.
There is so many different needs for different needs. There is no way to make one vise that could fill needs of the machinist to blacksmith.
I just designeg this to improve regular bench vise on the home workshop. It can be used when you want to clamp something without leaving marks to it, or with higher force when it doesn't matter if workpiece gets scratched or not.
It allows to change different "tooling' for to make bends, clamp round / square tubings, ring rollers.. etc. To allow easier / faster upgrade & different uses.
It would have made video too long to show all possibilities.
That's why part 2 comes later, of course some possibilities are the ones that needs to be imagined by the viewer itself.
I have seen so many "ultimate" welding tables & workbenches.. none of them have been suitable to my needs. So, i think there's no way to make anykind of "ultimate" anything that would be perfect for every user.

Its a quick action vise, but still strong.
Also it can be used with a jack.
This build continues with a electric hydraulic jack, and
with a set if different adds, ring roller, pipe bender.. etc.
