Try bargaining a little. You never know. Judging by the pictures, it should be OK, but nothing compares to you putting your hands on it and checking it out.?
The old vises are much better than the new chinese garbage sold for 50 bucks. The gray cast iron used was 50,000+ psi and the new vises top out at around 30,000, making them lighter duty.
Of course, any vise is better than no vise, at least until you get a really good one.?
Wilton still makes vises in USA and sells them for 600 bucks, new, versus the chinesium ones that go for a couple of hundred.?
Gressel and Heuer from Germany use cast steel and their vises are lighter but just as strong as cast iron. Of course, they cost a boat load. A fully loaded vise can be over 1000 bucks, while the basic one runs about 500, depending where you buy it.?
He still has it.? ?Added more pics.? Gonna see about going to check it out.?
A local feller has this for sale for 200.? Says it opens 6" and weighs 70#.? Anyone know what model it is and if it's a good deal??
