Vises come in all kinds of varieties and they’re fascinating tools★
Aiyama had some interesting vises too, come to think of it
Today’s find is!

A hydraulic quick-lock powerhouse

I’m thinking of repurposing this chuck into something like a pipe notcher…

Aligning the edges when welding a sleeve onto a pipe is such a pain…
But since Aiyama’s the one running it, I guess I don’t have to do it myself? That’s kind of how it feels.

These specialty vises exist too★
So cool!
