Before I lose the contact details again, if you want vice jaws, particularly the external bolt type, email this chap and he’ll sort you out.

Thanks. Mine are ok just, but too worn for fine work. I have a small vice for that anyway. The 112 could do with some sooner rather than later. Ill store his details.

the old record vice in my replies are ductile iron too. i remember when researching record in general, of that same Sheffield production era, they also did high end steel versions which were reeeally expensive, but could obviously punch through concrete nuclear containment wall.

You sure about that darren? The ductile ones have heavy duty written on the sides. If it had been ductile, it wouldn't have snapped! I may be wrong, i don't know all the ins and outs. I think the ductile ones are the steel versions you mention. I think the ductile ones were the strongest ones they made. |

Know any of the model numbers by chance? |

nodular (ductile) iron has tiny sphere like texture inside, thats the other benefit of snapping one, can see the cast lol ! i jest but i genuinely shed a tear over this, granddad gave it to me and he had it for donkeys himself (think he liberated it from short brothers when it closed down in rochester)  |

The one i saw had been welded back together and had a strapping brace bolted to it. It was for sale at a local reclaim yard when i was looking for a vice. Didnt look like something i would trust! I guess everything has its physical limitations  |

Great arent they! Yep, SG ductile iron. Not sure what sg stands for. [nerd mode/] SG stands for Spheroidal Graphite and is a reference to the grain structure of the cast iron [nerd mode] |
