Workbench Vises - all the different ones in the same thread - contributions ple
I have a Record 52 1/2 which doesn't get the pulse racing looks wise but it's reliable and easy to use.
There was an old Dawn out my Mum's that was harder than a coffin nail - stayed on an outdoor bench for my entire childhood and never saw any oil and just kept trucking... it disappeared while I was o/s or I would have rescued it.
I noticed a while ago that Dawn still make a range of bench vices in Oz (including a fancy pivoting face version for irregular shapes). I would have posted a link but I can't find it on their site at the moment.
Great thread Brett...I'll just make the other bits smaller.

Orraloon, Berlin, thanks for yor input.
My thoughts on the pin in the leg vise correspond with yours John. It looks like a bit of a PITA.

Sawdust Maker is right on the money here. The pattern makers vice would have to be one of the handiest, multi purpose vices going. Provided they are quality units made to tight tolerances.
A tiny bit of graphite dust on vice threads turns even a clunker into a working tool.

the split pin is not what I'd call a split pin (ie a cotter pin)
Blackwoods call it a spring pin (here)
anyway it's about 2 3/4" long and about 1/4" thick/round
re the hub and handle I merely asked for a price from Len without them as I thought I could make them out of some fancy Aussie timber - can't remember how much cheaper - not a lotregards

Just my 2c.
I have a Zyliss and find it very versatile, but as it is not permanently attached
to anything it doesn't get used as often as it should and when I do use it I really
have to scratch the head to remember what to do!
I have a permanently mounted Dawn QR face vise. Unfortunately it is now well
worn (Bought it at Tony Carr's Junkyard 42 years ago ) and suffers from annoying
thread jumping. I have an idea for fixing this and will do so when the paw is in better nick.

OK FF here goes.
There is small metal plate that rides in the thread and is concerned with the
quick release function. From What i can see it is worn and probably needs
replacing ( with a home made version ) so that it rides right down in the
grooves of the thread.
I originally thought the thread was an Acme but now I'm not so sure.
Getting the vise out may prove to be a huge problem because of the way I built the bench.
