Those ARE nice vises. Ive got a 6" Dawn out in the welding shop.
No..not one I weld on! Its far too nice for that

I'd use the fabricated vise for portable work, but the Super Grade
ductile iron for shop. Except...

I've got a massive Starrett 6" bench vise with the pivoting back jaw,
forget the model number. It's in storage back there. Also have a 4"
Cardinal bench vise with the quick release screw. Never knew they made
one until I found this one at an estate sale. Didn't really need another
vise, but spotted the slot allowing the screw to lift off the half nut
and realized what it was. Asked price, $20, that was a no brainer! After
paying the guy, I commented on the unusual feature. He sighed, and said
he sold it cheap because he thought it was worn out.
Glad I didn't point out that feature until after it was paid for... G
