    Question Good source for Engineers Vice?

    I've got a great brick @#$%house of an engineers vice in the family (it's an ancient Record I think).

    Now I need something half decent for the shop - probably ~200mm jaw width.

    The Bunnings stuff is mostly rubbish - I'm sure I can do better for similar $.

    Any suggestions on where to look (in Perth?).

    Cheers, Antony.

    Try carba-tec I think you guys have one over there.
    Or Blackwoods (more expensive) or Gasweld if you have them.
