I appreciate everyone's insight. I've read many of the threads on this board, but I've found that most people are too enamored with a product to give a good review or so enamored with another to give credit to another. I just try to see it from every angle and work from there. Thank you all...

Ooops. Had a typo. C not G (garageflooringinc.com). Sorry for the confusion. So they don't have Racedeck products?? I do appreciate the vendors chiming in, other forum members have mentioned they come in Racedeck boxes...so I'm glad to hear directly from Racedeck if this is, in fact, a...

I've been contemplating buying Racedeck for my garage floor, but I'm still unsure of the product. I've contacted them directly with some questions, and they were very kind and even sent a sample (I didn't even have to request one). So...I decided to do some stress tests :). Have you all had...

I was actually able to push the pins last night. I used the end of a bolt since it was flat, and it worked pretty well. I was also able to pull the screws from the teeth on both sides. There was just a bunch of gunk built up in/around them, and I was able to dig them out. They were actually...

Gotcha, EDGAR. I see what you're saying. Someone else suggested a 9500, so I wasn't sure. Based on your sample pic, I tend to think you're right. Thanks!

Welp...I know I said tomorrow, but I got a wild hair...so here we are :). I've added 5 shots. http://s794.photobucket.com/user/ishmaela/library/?sort=3&page=1 I think I'm OK on the cracking front. It looks clean through and through. I didn't see any date stamped on the slide, though. Just...

Thank you everyone for your help. I really appreciate all the input. Special thanks go drivesitfar. I appreciate that guidance. Honestly, this will hopefully be the "last vise I ever buy". There is a lot of gunk around the replaceable jaw screws, so I need to dig those out to see for...

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate the help! :bowdown: Sorry about the pics. This should help some. They are the only pics I have in there right now, so I'll just do the one link. Click on one, and it should blow up. http://s794.photobucket.com/user/ishmaela/library/?view=recent&page=1...

I'm thinking Schiller is more likely based on what I've scrapped off. Not completely sure what a support ledge is...though there are a few busted pieces. I tried to capture them in a few of the pics. Honestly, I was originally just looking for a good old vise, and stumbled on this one. I...

Hey Guys. New to bench vises and the restoration of them. Bought this vise today for $60. It's 71 lbs and approx. 18" long. The clamps are 5" wide and the screw extends 9+ inches. It has been painted a few times, so some of the details are hard to read right now...at first I thought it was...
