Plakat 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Can someone recommend a pedestal for an apprentise vise? I like the vise quite a lot, but I think I would be more comfortable with a pedestal so I can be a bit more mobile with the placement of the vise. Thanks.

Plakat 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Sure, that makes sense. However, I looked at the item descriptions and none of them are for use with the Apprentise vise. The stem on the Apprentise is rather thick and I don't know if there are bases out there that will accomodate it. Thanks for the input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plakat 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2008 I emailed Renzetti, and they do not offer a pedestal base for the Apprentise. So this takes me back to the original question. Does anyone have an idea for a pedestal base that might work with the Renzetti Apprentise vise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickalo 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2008 i was browsing for some tools yesterday and happen to remember seeing this item. it appears to have an adjustable clamp for the vise stem. it may work for what your looking for. https://www.docsflybox.com/sunshop/index.ph...tail&p=1385 Hope it helps Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flykid 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2008 try measuring the stem and look for pedestals that accept that size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shezli 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I know a fly tier that got a custom one built out of a nice peace of marble. Depending on how mobile you want to be you might even consider getting a traveler or using the clamp to stick it on a mobile tying table. I hope that helps in some way.

Does anyone have an idea for a pedestal base that might work with the Renzetti Apprentise vise? Doesnt Renzetti have a machine shop? Amazing! They could do it is a second if they wanted. Measure the dia of the post buy a cheep base and drill it to match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
