How much force in a vise?
wrote:
How much force does a common shop vise develop in its jaws? Google was
pretty unhelpful on this - the only reference I could find suggested
up to 7000 lb. Another paper suggested that a minimum required
clamping force for machining is much less - up to 1000 N.
I am interested because I am trying to guess how much force I can
develop in this press:

Right now my answer would be "not enough" (see the following photos if
you are interested in the process).
Can anybody suggest how such force could be measured?

Looks a lot like a wine press. I know the small wine press I have will
develop about 1000 pounds at the plate with a 2' lever on the handle.
