less between the wooden face plates and it sits well above my bench top and the bars slide over the top of the bench rather than under, by design – so I can’t fit a dog or use it with dogs. My father was a builder and joiner (his profession on my birth certificate is “Journeyman”) all the while I was child growing up, so I was always around building sites and woodworking. Since he was more of a metalworker, he never used this vise and it had been laying in the shed for 40 years. If you Google ‘woodcraft record vice PDF’ or similar, there is a downloadable PDF of the vice mechanism and components. Because Record sold off its tooling and production here in the UK ceased, Irwin Record vises are no longer produced in the UK but on another continent.It lacks a quick-release but I’ve never had a QR metalworking vise either, so I’m not really missing it. I wonder how the smaller 52 works as a bench vice compared to the more standard–and larger and more expensive–52 1/2. Built-in clamp allows it to be easily and quickly attached to a bench, table or work surface • Pipe grips incorporated below the parallel jaws • A useful anvil is also included on the rear of the body • Jaw wi. i’ve stripped it down and i can’t see any wear on any of the individual components, but it still will not unwind. So its great for clamping small parts while doing fine work or short-to-moderately-long boards for edge planing.

Quite a few vices were labelled Marples, the earlier ones being made by Parkinsons, later I don’t know. I wanted to take the vice apart to clean the quick release parts with the disks as you describe above – but I can’t get the pin out of the end (which I assume is necessary to take it apart – I haven’t found any instructions on how to break it down). this is John Guengerich, the Discus log in that I used to use hasn’t been functioning so I’m using my FB. The quality of castings does not match those of the original Record Marples and so longevity will likely match that of Asian imports which as yet has never compared to domestic British or US standards. Really great vices completely origional made in England these are the vices the professional use made in England .If they are now made abroad, perhaps using original English casting moulds, they would likely be breaking British laws such as the “Trades Description Act”. Lots of tools and aids came on the black market when less than scrupulous workers removed the makers name they were working for and used the same castings. 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.

hi paul my mame is Martin Curran some time ago i bought at an auction a Record No 75 all steel vise. Underneath the bit that holds the blade in has been played with - the bolt is spaced with a random nut and the whole assembly is loose to allow everything to move a little. I just use the clamp in the vise system which is instant enough and takes care of any and all my needs.At the back end, underneath, you should find an end cap that keeps the bars roughly in place or permanently fixed parallel. If necessary I can get someone to put some oxy/acetelyne on the end bracket to allow hammering flat. Apologies for going off-topic here, but is it acceptable to use the top of the part at the back that slides in and out (technical, I know. The body and sliding jaw are cast from close grained grey iron which is machined on all friction surfaces for a smooth, reliable action.
