York Pattern makers vice ? - Rick F - 03-20-2018 Looking at one of these for my bench, any comments ? I know very little about them. RE: York Pattern makers vice ? - Scoony - 03-20-2018 Have one on my bench. Cant post pics at the moment but can post later tonight when I get home. Love it. Don't often rotate it around, but when I need to clamp something strange, it will do the job. One thing I did was to get wide sheets of thin cork board material and a roll of wide magnetic tape, and made magnetic jaw liners. They are pretty chewed up now so I need to come up with a better replacement. Really don't want to glue anything directly to the jaws. RE: York Pattern makers vice ? - Rick F - 03-20-2018 I was wrong on the name .. Its a G.M. Yost .. Patented 1900 .. I bought it .. its in medium shape, never going to be perfect but seems solid and will be a great user. RE: York Pattern makers vice ? - DCM - 03-21-2018 I have a Yost in the restoration waiting line... so have no experience using it. It's in very good condition & looking forward to checking it out. I'm no expert, but I understand that Yost may have worked for Emmert before doing his own thing? The Yost is VERY similar to the Emmert Turtleback - one difference I've noticed is the location of the jaw taper adjustment knob.

Yes, Yost did work for Emmert before leaving and starting his own company. RE: York Pattern makers vice ? - Rick F - 03-24-2018 So your saying that knob is for adjusting the taper ? RE: York Pattern makers vice ? - Scoony - 03-24-2018 Does yours look like this? [attachment=9447] This was taken while the bench was being built back in 2013 The knob allows you to adjust the jaws in order to clamp items that are not square |
