Attaching a vice to a chipper

[aspen]

Can anyone post any pics of their vices on their chippers.

 

This could be a great energy/back saver as I currently use a stump vice.

 

Thanks.

Just find a strong bit of the bodywork the right height and bolt it to it!

:lol:

 

You either need to bolt it direct or make a mount plate up. Can't weld cast vice straight to chipper obviously. Under worktop type ones would work well if there's a strong bit of overhanging bodywork to mount under. Trouble is bodywork will tend to flex.

 

If it was me I'd find a good place to mount (ie. where there's already a bolt holding bodywork or something onto the chassis) and make a bracket up to suit. That way it won't flex and is easily removable for sale.

On our TW 190 we have a vice on the engine lift up flap, it works well for us.

I use a log vice on mine but basically cut the spikes off and bolted angle on to the bottom and bolted to front of chipper.

Tbh works very well and IMO better than a proper vice

Sounds like a plan. Nice and light, neat and does the job.

Here's one we built last week & another delivered last week, fairly easy to fit one anywhere on a Bandit.

Dean,

It's all very well posting images of enormous chippers where you can actually walk between the engine components they are so large but Aspen probably runs a wee CS100 or that pencil sharpener you keep under your desk that masquerades as a Bandit wee chipper.

Bolting a vice to that would just topple it over...ha ha ha!

I was just proud of my vice.

Ah, that type of 'vice!'

 

I was thinking, sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco etc.....
