Chainsaw vise assembly work stand ID

[KerfWatcher]

Ran across this, looking for info on it. Very heavy cast iron, has a Made in Italy sticker on it. I own a few of the stihl assembly work stands (pricy but work fantastic). Specific made chainsaw work stands seem to be very far and few between. Have read a few threads over the years about them but not a common topic, especially factory versions.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, yes I am aware of the fabricated versions that a few people offer.

Strange enough searching though his stuff again, I found a video with the same vise as I posted, that he mentioned is about (now) 30 years old.

I have 2 of stihls workstands/vices, one I use has the bolt on
extension arm and the other has the shaft tool clamping
attatchement. Got them on a deal years ago. What is nice on them
are the big round rotating ball that5 supports the work angle arm
I think they were about 500,00loonies at one time

Yup. Scott had his probably 40 years now or more.

Do you know anything about them? Who made them? When?

I do not. Likely made in the upper Midwest or NE.

I bought the expensive Stihl tool and put a pillow slip over it to keep it beautiful but often forget to use it lol. I recently completely pulled apart my 084 (big end fail), have reassembled it enough to pressure test then remembered my shiny unused tool.
Out of sight out of mind I spose, and old age

 

[KerfWatcher]

Bump, looking to see if there is any other info out there on these.

Of Italy?

I have been looking for one of those vises for at least 15 years and have never seen one except for the one tree monkey has in his video

From Husqvarna.... very pricey!

But it says "sold out".
I just set too with a bundle of scrap steel- an old towball- a grinder and welder and made my own.

For $200.00 you could make a stand much nicer then that pos.
