Looks like it was made for specialized work? Wonder what? What is the diameter of the top?

6" diameter of the top. No markings that I can find and an unusual bearing arrangement. At first I thought the top was custom made, and now I'm wondering if the whole thing could be. Every vise I own has some sort of markings somewhere except this one.

Well, you won't stab yourself in the off hand using that one.

I'm not so sure Roger. There's really nothing to grab onto under the top to turn it, so it really has to be turned from the topside.

Maybe some of the die makers on here have and idea what it may have been designed to hold?
