MEGA RECORD 53E WOODWORKING VICE INSTALLATION

The largest Record woodworking vice I could find. If you are looking for a vice I would recommend getting one with the same quick release feature! The quality of the old style Record vices is worth buying one second hand, rather than the new Chinese copy ones. This vice will last me a lifetime, subscribe to see my new projects.

Ruined it when you painted it. Record vices should be 'Roundel Blue'.

[@spencerdodds2207]

Oh dear now it looks like some cheap brittle Chinese thing.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Really ?

[@phils6122]

all that effort to retain the pattina of the old and then that colour job. shame

[@azul8811]

Nice job all around.

[@claypigeon001]

Very nice job, you saved that vice from the scrap heap 👍

[@johnpayne6196]

Great. Do yourself a favour and make a new bench. Go to Wickes, b and q etc and buy some 62 x 38m. or 88 x 38 mm CLS (Canadian Lumber Stock) and laminate (Glulam) the top and so on. Your enthusiasm is infectious. If you get stuck, contact me. Take care.

Great vice . Terrible colour for a Record vice.
Not very well clean up of the entire vice.

[@HeLaNoR]

watch your toes im not sure this bench can support this vice in a long term. and what where you thinking with the Orange?

[@peterstevens6555]

That color is a bit gay.🙂🙂🙂

[@jamespenrose2498]

Along with this video (with his support idea along the bench for long wood) these 2 have given me enough ideas to fit my new (S/H) 52 1/2 e.

[@sawdustandsurvival]

I love what you did with the woodwork on the faces by the way. Liked and subbed.

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice job looks great 👍👍👍👍

[@roseeadsdesign]

Best build!

[@schnellerfuchs13]

Nice!

[@fishingfreakok]

Nice video and nice restoration but notice you didnt take it appart and grease all the parts. :) As the thing is like 50 years old plus they need grease.

[@sawdustandsurvival]

I've just managed to get 3 Record 52.5 E (made in England)vices that have never been used for £90!! I'm giving my dad one for Christmas and want to have one each end of my bench to hold planks. So excited!!

[@jamespenrose2498]

this was the other video: th-cam.com/video/cGlaIOp48CA/w-d-xo.html

[@markjarman7819]

I did mine with the inset faces. Nice👍

[@ronsilva9861]

Good job is well done and a good cleanup

[@swartpeter5995]

Wow you enjoyed that, great!

[@jamespenrose2498]

Really simple and clear, thanks.

[@fredio54]

53E front jaw and slides, 52 1/2 rear jaw/chassis. Interesting. I guess someone broke the rear part of the 53E hanging something heavy on it at some point and thought they'd try to salvage it with other leftovers!

[@SamButement]

I never noticed that before. So should the front and back be the same width?

[@fredio54]

@@SamButement Yeah, as far as I know, that's correct. I've never seen one mismatched, and hadn't checked the centre to centre offset between my 52 1/2 and 53E to see if it matched, but apparently it does! The 53E has longer slides, but that's part of the front jaw, so aside from maybe mounting stiffness IF the back is bigger (didn't check) then I think it makes almost no difference at all with the bench acting as the rear face and over-width, so just enjoy your unique hybrid as is! :-D

[@SamButement]

@@fredio54 i see, i really got the 53E becuse of how far it can open. It should last me years and its come in handy with all the projects. I could do with getting another one as its often in use gluing something. .

[@RogerCurran]

I have just got my hands on a mint 52.5" but didnt realise how huge it would be! Thanks for making the video, my bench is a little different but Im relieved to see that your lag bolts were up to the task

[@K15Sam]

Nice ratchet set! need a vice in our workshop!

[@SamButement]

Ratchet set?

[@The_man_himself_67]

Hopefully I am picking up a no.53 tomorrow. Interesting choice of plywood for the jaws. Great build. New sub!

[@stewandumps]

well done not the easiest vice install.
