Greeneboy: so you bought the vise that started this thread? any pictures because I think the casting on the other side should say Rock Island 577. does it? so tell me how the thread started in Florida and you are from Texas buying this for less than half the asking price. vacation or did you...
I went and purchased this ol vise! I give the guy 40 bucks for it! Yes the top side is rough but the screw is perfect and no cracks anywhere! I am going to clean her up and get in contact with a machine shop to have some jaws made. It is one heavy vise!
I just wanted to say this is one hell of a forum. I've only been a member for a short period, but im ready to post some things and get in on these discussions. And one more thing, I LOVE PICTURES!!!
