I gave my girlfriend a picture, name and rough measurements of one of these. Told her if she wanted me to give her a ring, she had to present me with one of these restored by her. Something tells me she won't be my fiance if prices keep going like they do! :bounce:

Ya, really... That's like a $300-400 vise.. Thing is beat. I hope that guy enjoys his very expensive boat anchor. Maybe he can use the baby monitor he bought the other day to watch over the vise as it collects rust in a pond?

Re: Ridgid F-??? Forged Steel Vise We have one in the machine shop, I don't use it though. Seems pretty solid, can't say I'm much trusting of the swivel base, considering how often I have items in it that are 100Lbs+ and off kilter. Record No.6 handles everything without a sweat.

Tried, it doesn't exist in Ontario. Get ready to pay out the *** for it. :eyecrazy:

-36 CELCIUS last night here. Nice and balmy. Here's my latest, Record 84-34. Did the best I could with the raised lettering, but some was down too low to get it painted with my lack of artistry. Also an old Sawa 12" rotary table, picked it up for $300 on company dime (I pleaded the case we...

Release some of the endangered 8"er's to the wild! You need to let them flourish and repopulate the land!

Demoman, you have fantastic issues. :bowdown:

Yep, makes sense! Hopefully in coming years there are more gems to be found, namely the 600lb'er.

Have a single jaw in alright condition for a Record 634, and can make pipe jaws out of any material for one if the need is there.

First attempt at serrations. Thanks to KMScott for the helpful hints. I forgot to tram the mill this morning, so one side the pyramids aren't pyramids, they're ...Rhombohedrons? A2 Jaws for Record 634.

I work in Aurora, but those aren't worth much of anything. All beat down Record clones of Parkinsons 37s.
