Here's a used one that you can kinda make out the rating on.

The ones I have been using are rated for 30,000 rpm and are made by Merit. MSC carries them as do many other places.

Thanks guys. I thought about a split collar but didn't think they made them that small. I ended up reusing the original clip, I wouldn't worry about breaking it, mine was not hardened. The jaws are the originals, I just hit them with the wire wheel.

Thanks Chevy I'm calling this one done.

I thought I'd post about what I had to do to make this POS Columbian 43 1/2 vise into something that can be used. Here it is as given to me. Blown apart. That lead screw clip is pretty cheesy! After about 45 minutes at the wire wheel and a little file work. The dynamic jaw on this...
