HiThat vice is definitely made by schaublin; you can see it on lathes.co.uk if you look at the accessories of the Schaublin 22 milling machine.

HI i have a a question when you removed the main spindel was it easy ? hot do you insure you have put it back with the same thust applied?
Nice job, congratulation is very interesting, I' have own a Schaublin 1966, I bought it in 2003. I writing from Lima Perú.
Synes alle maskinene ser meget flotte ut. Dette er bra. Har lyst til å lage en selv.
This vice, often referred to as Schaublin vice, was as new when I bought it. I have only given it a new coating of paint. If anybody knows the makers name of this vice, please drop me a line.
