Hi, thanks for the video. I'm a technician at a secondary school and we have quite a few of these vices. There are a few that need repairing and this has been very helpful. A few of the compression springs are damaged though and I'm trying to work out what size to get to replace them.
I have just had one of these passed on by my father-in-law and the spring and washer is missing from the near the handle but can't seem to find any online - any ideas? Great video
@@temporaldisplacement yeah mine was just so dirty I couldn't see what I was working with and didn't know which way it came out. Once I cleaned it and could see it was fine.
I have one of these but can't get the jaw screws undone. What chemicals do you recommend and what are the threads on this thing if I have to drill out the bolts.
Hello, i'v got a record no1 and i have just made the rooky mistake of knocking the pin that holds the spring too far, i had to snap it to get it out. Would replacing it with a split pin sit well with the vintage record community? Also my bigger pin at the back was in there.
Are Record vices any good? They seem to sell for around £30 on ebay, so thinking of getting one instead of a new Chinese made one. Anything to look out for?
@@BestUserNameUK Thanks, I was just going to get a no1 for now as I only do light duty filing work at the moment. Just noticed that the long bolt in yours that moves the jaws back and forth, has a much smaller thread than some of the ones I have seen on ebay. Do you know anything about that and what difference it will make? Some have a big chunky square cut thread.
TD makes a refreshing change from all the American content on here. I have a very rusty and pretty battered no3 vice. Been thinking about getting it blasted. Using the Dremel do you not risk scoring or taking surfaces away from being flat?

@@BestUserNameUK not sure of exact size of these old fashioned things, I think they're 5/16 but I've seen bsf, bsw and some other one so my head's pickled lol, thanks for the help though.
I love when people work smart, hard and clean up after! By the way great looking vises! I’m working on a few my self..

Hang on to them, or make sure you get a good price if selling..
@@BestUserNameUK I have to fix them, the school doesn't want to spend money on new ones if they can help it.
@@bexiboo1981 I'm surprised kids nowadays know what a vice is! We did woodwork and metalwork at school and the girls did domestic science😀
Ebay sell service kits. The spring, screws etc (without jaws) are around £10-15.

@@BestUserNameUK thanks 👍
The nut for the screw on mine is not coming out. Yours just appeared to fall out when you removed the screw. Any tips on removing it?
I've recently got one of these and did some rust removal ..thinking about re-furbing it ..did you manage?

I like record vice
hey i have one of these, how much are they worth ?
See what they're selling for on ebay👍🏼

I use penetrating fluid - 'Plus Gas', try a little heat also if you have a blow torch. The screws are 1/4" BSW which you can get from ebay.
@@BestUserNameUK Thank you.
@@AJB2K3 No worries & good luck👍🏻

Nowt wrong with a split pin... whatever works for you👍🏼
My old record vice will be getting this treatment, why did you coat everything in gt85? To clean it off as a degreaser?
Yes.

Record vices are the best IMO.. stay away from Irwin though and buy the biggest you can afford.

@@noire1001 All Record vices have the same thread on the lead screw... it's an acme thread.

@@kn0bch33s3 Possibly? But at the end of the day it's a vice, not a classic car or precision machine tool.

Thanks for replying, sold out of the screws and I can't find them anywhere else without having to buy both jaws and screws.
