Irwin Record No.3 Mechanics Vice 4in

Product Information

My brother gave 2 Revord vises no 52E made in England, they are realy mest up, very rusty and some pieces are broken, cannot open them, I dont know if it is worht to keep the, I can send you photos of both vise, can you tell me if these are repairable and if so what shall i do? However, that said, if you mostly make smaller projects such as boxes (like I do) and can get a 52 for cheap or even free (as I did), I think it is undoubtedly a handy and capable vise. Smooth action provided by dovetailed, long barrelled,unbreakable nut. Hardened steel replaceable jaw plates.

I couldn't get the slider in with the nut on the screw, this may not be the case for all makes of vice. I do have two metalworking vises, so I expected the #57 to be used only for the occasional woodworking I do. However, it turns out that it has now become the vise I use the most, due to its location on the bench and height. Incidentally, the wooden-liner mounting holes in the rear jaw weren’t threaded, so I cut M6 thread in it myself. Not sure if the factory forgot to cut threads or whether doing so was normally left as ‘an exercise for the new owner’.I will probably go cheap — but not too cheap — for now and replace as I can since I have to buy a fair number of things at once (think Craftsman with the lifetime warranties). It’s in good condition really, everything works as it should, clean, jaws close tight – can’t complain at all. No idea how old it is – 50s/60s I would have thought. As far as can be known these Eclipse vises are still good vises. Anyone else know anything to help Ed? excellent – then I will leave it intact and clean out the threads with a wire brush. I had a feeling if I took it apart it might never be the same again : )

I have a jorgeson 7 inch vise that went through a house fire. I retrieved it, soaked it in vinegar, wire brushed and lubed it and it works fine, except that the dog spring lost it’s tension. But i can still use the dog because the workpiece holds tension just fine, for instance when hand planing a board flat. Since i often work old wood such as rough sawn fence boards i find the dog very handy. I also have a small vice that mounts with the screw proud of the bench top. Since i also make bows and arrows, i find this to be a very usefull addition to my tool kit. Needless to say, i agree it would not be much to a furniture builder.On the lookout for a tail vice now. Then i’ll start on my bench, drawing inspiration from your bench, Paul.
