Never heard of "Bharat Fritz Werner LTD Bangalore" before - had to find out what BFW stands for

Well, I wrote that - I got only "BFW" and that has a ton of different meanings - now it's easy

@25.4_mechanic Thats a nice beefy vice. Never seen one before and just like buses and coppers once you see one they are everywhere.
Dont know why

Perhaps we can't say that quite so simply:
Although BFW states this 1961, when I search here for "Fritz Werner" machines, I get offers of machines from the 70s, the 80s up to currently year of construction 1995 and all type plates point to Berlin ... - how all this is connected, I have to read something again ....

I’ll take a picture of the plate when I go out later.So we know it is older than 1961
Good solid machine though
It’s ex bae systems. I asked them for info but nothing. Nicest get *** letter I’ve ever had though
Bought it off a friend who always asks to buy it back. It’s so solid he used to do a lot of fish mouthing in it, could do good size tube in one without chatter.

Think I'd better check mine.Good job you fixed it. A work colleague lunched his V70 engine by ignoring the noise ...

Thanks @Richiew - that looks like a later, simplified version made with less material ... Bangalore?
What does he want? (No, I don't want to buy it, promised!)
EDIT: What about that area?

today some lisle hex bits
in SAE I was struggling to owt to fit the other day and I've very little stuff in imperial , got a few sae sockets on the way too.
AND a tool I didn't know I wanted or even existed " VAMPLIERS " till a mate showed me some last week
screw extraction pliers.
and they work great when there's just that bit sticking out ! theres a smaller 4" version to and some cheaper ones
I'm going to get a pair for the daytime tools as well . more money !
