Hey, been looking at vises, they sure are proud of 'um. I'm kinda new
at wood butchering.....How do the imports of Taiwan & India stack up?
Hartville has one of each. Leaning towards this one. Anyone ever deal

Stay clear of the China castings. The Taiwan and India ones are
questionable. I have a Record bench vise and very pleased (they are
cast in England). Record makes several vise sizes. USA-made and
Germany-made vises are usually quite good.
