Record vise

[Lis2323]

The problem there is that they have been discontinued so the only thing they could do would be to refund your money. Reed hasn't had their own foundry in ages so it's not like they could even make one at this point. It's so sad...there were so many great companies making vises years ago and we're down to only one that still makes some in the U.S.

Very true about the refund. Still better than nothing tho..

I think I had a Dawn once but can’t say for certain.

Have you run into any Samsonia Perfect vises down there?



Note the through bolts for the replaceable jaw inserts similar to the Dawn.

Where did you get that vise? Are you in the USA? I want to buy one but they seem to be made overseas and they don't ship to the US.

Sorry Needy, I'm in God's own country, down under.

I don't see forge or anvil on that list yet, and you know you can't have just one of those...

I have a shop made anvil and forge that will do for now. The anvil is made of good steel from forklift tines but i don't have a hardy hole in it yet and my horn needs shaped a little more with the grinder. I thought about making a separate hardy table out of some 2" bar stock, or buying some thick plate steel. I'm not sure if i can drill into the tines or not so i can flame cut the hardy hole.. But yea, one anvil and forge is not enough, lol.

I've torched out my own Hardy holes.

Did you drill a hole first before flame cutting?

Did you drill a hole first before flame cutting?

Yes. Two holes diagonally across from each other.

The cut hole was large enough to accommodate a short section of 1.25 square (seamless) receiver tubing which I welded in place.

This allows the use of 1.25" shank hardie tools.

I can cross one tool off that list. I did a job today and bought the hammer drill.
