Mantemec,---I actually have two 326s.---Wouldn't take a gold monkey for them.---They weigh 214 lbs. apiece and are big and stout enough to handle about anything you need to clamp.---Starrett bought out Athol years ago and in my opinion are top quality vises.---And having suspending their vise production altogether several years ago, their quite collectable.---If I could get a good buy on a third one, I'd buy it to.---They don't come up for sale very often so if you have one, I'd hang onto it.---I personally think they are the finest combination vises money can buy, but a statement like that is like throwing a rock at a hornets nest.---Once thrown, you know the stingers are on their way.
What your story on that vise?---How did you acquire it?---Do you have it mounted?---Are you going to restore it?
