Anyone know anything about these old Ridgid vises?
I snagged this big old gal for $25 after Ike hit Galveston.
She was really a mess & was mounted (welded) on the cut off corner of a steel table. I brought'er home, cut her off the table corner, diassembled, cleaned & lubed her up and mounted her on one of my welding tables.
She is made in the USA, tight & fit as a fiddle & has really made a good addition to my shop.

Being that it was welded down it probably is cast steel rather than cast iron.
