I'm in the market for a Record type vice for my newly built low cost
bench. The archives are somewhat old on vices (other than it seems
everyone wants a Veritas twin screw , me too) and right now money is my
limiting factor, must be under $80. A 7" quick release Record type will
be fine. Have looked at Rockler (they have a neat Record type with a
capstan and wooden handle in this price range), Grizzly Shop Fox (rated
poorly by users on Amazon), Highland Hardware (they have the Groz vises
and the Anant vises) and Woodcraft has the Groz (7" vise on sale for
$59 including shipping) and several others.

Does anyone have experience - good or bad with the Groz vises? At $59
it seems a good deal. Any other recommendations?


Don't forget to check out Harbor Freight. They have a 9" Record 52 1/2
copy (item # 94386) for $59 and it likely will go on sale sometime
within the next few months like most of their stuff does. I bought one
from them many years ago (Doubt if from the same manufacturer as their
current offering; mine was made in Tawian) and I really can't see
how a genuine Record would work any better. Once you've decided to go
with an Asian import, why pay more for essentially, if not exactly, the
same merchandise?
