The vise is a good Wilton one. When the old Allis Chalmers plant closed down, they auctioned off what was left. I got several workbenches, and this one had the Wilton vise. Think I bought this one for $50.
The table is approx 4 x 10'. I built a maple top on one end for woodworking, and put a 3/8" steel plate on the other end for metal working. Love my bench. Will get some pictures of it later.
Don't even look at what Wilton and Yost vise like that are going for now! I bought an 8" Yost (made in Michigan) a couple of months back, for around $350, and that's on the lower end for a good, large vise made in the U.S.....sad, but even these two companies import Chinese and Korean vises for their low and mid-level products.
