F E McGlinchy's Patented Corner Vise

Published 11/11/21
The little vise I picked up is kind of hard to find any information on.
It is marked with the name of the original patent holder F.E. McGlinchy and has Willoughby O on the opposite side of the vise.
According to Vintage Machinerey.Org the vise was made by The Champion Hardware Co in Willoughby Ohio.

They are both cast aluminum.
Mine is cast iron. 😁😎

I find the corner vises do benefit from extra mass and being made of Cast iron... They are handy!

I have seen the black iron vice several times in antique shops, but the AL Stanley's are more common. I have a small 4" Wards vice on my bench, and a large 8" vice under the bench. I have only used it a few times to press U-Joints into a driveshaft. I have several wood working vices on my work bench as I use them the most. It's still raining outside I may never get to clean the gutters this year. It's just one of those days to stay inside and put on a pot of soup. Wishing you and your family the best and keep dry, warm and give Sadie a pat on the head for me, if she wakes up.

Probably best for making right angle joints for windows, drawers, shelves etc. Maybe mitered, butted, or doweled? Wooden jaws for maintaining square edges etc. Neat.

Bought my corner vice at a car boot sale and it is an alloy Stanley and have found only a few uses as I use either the Record engineering or the Record woodworking vices in the garage. When working outside I use the trusty Workmate 301 (I have 3 others which are the dual height etc but the 301 is lighter and more convenient to lug around). If working on big timbers then the Jaw horse is dusted off. Love the look of your cast iron one.

I have a Stanley Blue, so probably from the 60's like a type 20 plane. I use it like a shave horse on the front of the bench. Mostly to reshape and thin out Axe handles and such.

I have russian copy of Stanley 702, made of aluminium alloy. Use it like portable vise, when working outside the shop. Handy tool.

going to have to find a vise like that you never know when it might come in handy once in a blue moon

[mikecurtis]

New one to me. Maybe someone will know about it. Have a great Veterans day. Thanks 😊🙏

Hi Dave, I've Never Seen or Heard of them Though . Might Be Pretty Rare Like You Said .

[rawbacon]

There's some cast iron ones on eBay but they all seem to say Champion but nothing about F.E. McGlinchy on sure if they're made by the same place or wondering if the McGlinchy was only used for a short time and then they went with the Champion company name, you very well may have a rare one there.

How's she goin'? I have never seen a vice like this before or FE McClinchy. Sorry!!! Take care!!!
