That's the only reason i bought it because it was utterly identical!! and Reeds virtually never show up in my area....like a paltry 2 or 3 in several years of checking... But I cannot find any paper trail suggesting that they are the same thing.......I guess the fact that they LOOK the same...

Yes that's true also. A slightly more common style of Rae Vises around me, I do see from time to time, are the ones that look like Records, but with the 2 flairs on the static jaw sides, like this one attached. I was always under the impression that Reed or Athols were the most sturdy beefy...

This is my experience exactly. This style of vise is so laughably uncommon in my local area, I can only recall seeing just a hand full of them in the past several years, and I check constantly throughout the day... Record vises by contras, and still locally, im sure ive seen hundreds for sale...

Jesus that was a GREAT video!!! I sure as **** wont be going anywhere near that kind of torture....LOL!!!!

Yea ive given it a heap of thought and I definitely was thinking the same thing....ill just "test" it as I use it. I was thinking about getting my best friend's advice on it, but he'd be hanging off the goddamn thing like an ape in the blink of an eye LOL!!!!

ok here are some photos thanks!!!

Oh god yes, im a HUGE fan of that ****. this particular break....its big. the brazed section is like a giant 2 inch square....not your typical "golden vein that is so SUPER interesting and appealing.... I'll snap some photos of the repair tonight so everyone can have a look. As far as how...

I bought a Rae 106 Vise and in my excitement forgot to check it out to any respectable degree..... turns out the whole dynamic jaw was broken off at some point and looks like it was brazed back on....how much overall strength is typically lost when this is done? I'll take some photos of the...

yep it has 6 inch jaws. I don't clamp anything even remotely considered large or heavy luckily!!

Snatched this Vise off of Kijiji for CAD$ 75.00 DELIVERED! It seems to have had quite an interesting life. I did not realize it at the time, but there is a giant piece broken off the front :(. I shudder thinking of what it took to damage the vise like this..... It came with a swivel base...

this is the message body

you should get some pictures and post them here.

The scary part is I did pass on it. :confused: i saw the ad when it was about 3 hours old and had 15 views. I was certain it was a classic old Record even though the ad did not advertise the lettering on the other side, the paint was darker and the sticker was identical to the ones we have at...

heh yea your thread was one of the only ones around that was similar. ill have to read through it again!!! yea suprisingly the end cap on mine is still there and dent free!! I tried to call the Glisenti Foundry but all I get is a bunch of italian gobbledegook and cant get to a real person...

OK so.......Its May 24th and.... I bought another Vise, but i can explain. :dunno: It's a Record No. 4 The condition and the price was too good to pass up. It was 25.00 CAD(18.65 USD) I will add some photos here. I'm still diggin around with the details on the pedigree. I was hounding the...
