dwain Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 G'day all, I've been doing some more delicate woodwork lately, and my Record No. 6 engineers vice just isn't the right tool for the job. Its like the picture shown, and I think these have a replaceable jaw front? Is there a good way to add timber to the jaws to protect my work (as needed), or should I just buy a woodworkers vice? something like this? http://audel.com.au/irwin-record-tv175b-woodcraft-vice-175mm/ If I'm going to get a second vice, i like the idea of an underbench mounted one ....

DR99 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 If you are going to spend the money on a wood workers vice I would get one bigger than the Irwin it just looks tiny. Check around your local version of craiglist or ebay. for an older one. I think vices fall into the category they don't make them like they used to, or if you do find one made like they used to they cost a ton of cash.

NicholasShetley Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wouldn't buy a new one, just check craigslist for a good yost one. Yost vises are top of the line. I don't know about the woodworking jaws but you could just make a cover for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Give this a try. If you go to his you tube he has a Q&A video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 wow thats impressive. very handy but might take up a little too much of my little shed space. really love the idea of a quick clamping vice now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 You should be able to buy/make jaw liners. If the dogs are removable you may want to just make them. If you do go for a second vice I would go for the end or face varieties, the screw mechanism is mounted under the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
