Is this vice any good.

[RD350]

It looks like a Record No. 6. If so the jaws should be 6". Records are top quality vices and I'd snap it up if you can get it for $45.

Here's my non-swivel base Record No. 6. (with a No. 8 in the background) ...

Can someone please advise whats the colour/shade code for the OEM blue record vise and where in Canada can I but this paint?

Thank you kindly.

If it helps, my Record No. 6 without a swivel base weighs 70 lbs.

From memory, my Paramo 6 with swivel base weighs 102 lbs. It is my everyday vice at work, and still all original paint (and decal). I added a roller thrust bearing and it's smooth as butter....

Do you remember what sized thrust washer you used? I have a Paramo 6 that I'm getting ready to restore

Sorry, but I don't remember. You will need to remove the screw and measure the diameter. I bought it for a few bucks from McMaster-Carr
