Abstract: An industrial grade, field-usable Mobile Work Station, comprising a rolling cabinet having lockable internal storage, which is fitted with precision-adjustable, tubular rails on one or more sides to which special compound clamp-vice assemblies may be mounted at a plurality of locations to engagingly retain work pieces and hand and power tools, and which includes tool holders and an under-chassis rack for retaining a battery to power tools. An exemplary MWS is shown in which the X, Y and Z axes of pipe rails may be micro-adjusted to be in precise orthogonal relationship so that precision work may be accomplished in the field, even where the surface is not level. Leveling jacks are provided at one end of the cabinet to permit precise horizontal leveling of the cabinet pipe rails in both X and Y axes. Power tools include saws, grinders, welding spinners, benders, vices, anvils, drills, and the like.

Abstract: A counterweight assembly is especially adapted for mounting to a spinner tool allowing a workpiece to be balanced when rotated during welding or other operations. The counterweight assembly has an adjustable counterweight to provide a necessary amount of counterbalance force depending upon the particular size and configuration of the workpiece. The spinner tool is adapted to secure various diameters of pipe as well as pipe flanges. The spinner tool can be mounted within a portable vise that can be used directly at a work site.

Abstract: A portable vise and saw combination includes a vise element having three attachment points. One attachment point is used to attach the vise to an existing support such as an existing horizontal rail, and another attachment point allows a saw to be mounted to the vise. A workpiece is mounted in the third attachment point. The saw is aligned with the workpiece so that the workpiece may be selectively cut at a desired length and angle. A measuring apparatus is also incorporated within the vise to allow an operator to set the saw to cut successive workpieces at the same lengths without having to remeasure each workpiece.

Abstract: A bending apparatus is especially adapted for mounting to a vise to hold the bending apparatus in an aligned position so that the bending apparatus may impart a desired angle bend on a workpiece. The bending apparatus includes an orienting member with a cross-sectional shape to complement the shape of the vice jaws. The bending apparatus when secured in the vise jaws is oriented horizontally or vertically, thus enabling the bending apparatus to precisely create horizontal and vertical bends in a workpiece. Bends may be created in succession without requiring a user to continually adjust the orientation of the workpiece or the bending apparatus itself.

Abstract: A horizontal base formed by intersecting plates rigidly connected to a vertical base of generally V-shaped cross-section; clamping flanges extended from the respective plates outwardly; a clamp member slidable over the respective flanges to act as backing for a fastening clamp threaded therethrough for holding a work in one of the V-shaped spaced formed by the intersecting plates; means being provided on the plates to hold a pipe or the like against turning in either direction when worked on; an adjusting cam on the horizontal base levels the vise on its support.
