User questions & answers

Question:	How tall and long is this vise
Answer:	this vise is cast and made in china
Question:	Where is this vise made? Is it steel or cast iron
Answer:	Lol, I originally bought it too for my ar-15. Pretty sturdy product; use A R mounts and vise rubber pads and its a go.
Question:	How well is this vise holding up? I need something for building AR-15 rifles on and for what they cost I'm needing a pretty sturdy vise
Answer:	The widest I would go is 4 1/2 inches
Question:	How wide a piece of wood will this vise accommodate
Answer:	Why ask here, this is an answer forum for customers to help each other, but none of us can help you replace faulty parts. I suggest that you contact whoever you bought the table from, and request a replacement table or a spare leg. If they send a full table kit, just take one good leg of the new kit and swap with the bad leg.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of thread is on the vise screw? The original Record vise had a buttress thread. Are these square, buttress or acme
Answer:	I looked into it a little further. The $69 one is sold by Amazon, which means they either buy them from Yost for resale, or more probably just place an order to Yost for drop-ship to the customer. The $115 ones (almost twice as much) are sold by a 3rd party, and are not Prime. The seller is located in Romania. Which means they are buying from Yost, doubling the price, and selling them as an "improved" version. It also means that it will probably take a long time to get them. It is also important to note that this vise is $66 if you order it directly from Yost, so *they* obviously don't have an improved version with over a hundred dollars.
Question:	what kind of wood should the jaw faces be made of
Answer:	This particular model has an I.D. of 0.925" so a 1" dowel will not fit, a 7/8" will fit with enough clearance to easily slide back and forth
Question:	what is overall length of vise
Answer:	The Vice Face mount (the part that the Vise Face will anchor to) is little under 2 1/2" inches tall and the Vise Plate mount (the part that anchors to your workbench) is about 2 1/4" tall. Those are rough measurements, but should help you get an idea of the size. Just measured mine with a caliper... The Vice Face mount is 2.417" tall and the Vise Plate mount is 2.14". Hope this helps!
Question:	What is the width (the distance between the outermost edges) of the rods that go under the tabletop? And that piece holding them together? Thanks
Answer:	Personal choice. It's entirely up to the user.

Shop Fox D4328 Quick Release Vise

This heavy cast-iron wood vise with polished guide rods features a quick release lever that disengages the screw for fast and efficient material engagement. It also features sliding dogs for securing long workpieces to the bench, which conveniently retract out of the way when not in use.

Workbench Thickness

This quick release vise is designed to fit on workbenches 2-1/4 inch and thicker, but can be adapted to workbenches down to 1-1/2 inch thick by using a shim.

Pre-Drilled Jaw Holes

The jaws are pre-drilled to allow one to make and attach custom non-marring jaw faces to protect workpiece surfaces.

Cast Iron Construction

Cast iron construction offers durability and years of dependable use.

Quick Release Lever

Using the quick release lever allows for fast and efficient operation. Moving the quick release lever towards the vise handle disengages the leadscrew so the sliding jaw can be freely moved by pushing or pulling it.

Sliding Stop Dogs

This vise includes sliding stop dogs for use with bench dogs. A handy feature when working with stock that is too long for the vise to accommodate. When the stop dogs are not in use, simply loosen the finger bolt and the dogs disappear out of the way.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the mounting area
Answer:	It is forged, the steel shouldn´t be judged as a knife steel. It should be high carbon, but the particles of a forged steel are forced together mecanically during forging process not chemically by heating during tempering process as a knife. You should think of it as a hammer more than as a knife. it is more likely simmilar to the RMJ tomahawk than to others made out of knife steel, like the ontario rangers, if you are looking for a cutting tool this is not it. it is more like a rock hammer much like the ones used by the geologists. Need less to say, i think it is the best option as a work tool for personnel in service since the equivalent (RMJ) is over 650USD. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	How wide does this vise open
Answer:	Bob, mine came with two jaws. One side is flat and is covered with a layer of cork applied on top of a non-magnetic alloy body (the description says that it's steel -- mine are not but that doesn't hurt my use of them). The "tilt" is the shape of the back side of each part. If you lay the pieces onto a flat surface, cork side down and with the cut-out facing away from you, the side view of the jaws resembles a slightly pitched roofline (pitched down about 15 degrees from horizonal...so with both jaws in the vise, I get about 30 degrees of taper). The entire body has the same surface but the cut-out removes the ridge from the lower. In other words, mine look like they are cast then machined to the shape you see in the picture.
Question:	When this item is purchased do you get (2) two jaws as pictured or do you get (1) one jaw and the pictures shows both sides of the (1) jaw you recd
Answer:	Kinda. If you use only one then one side of what your working on will be pressed up against the iron jaws so it could get scratched. Plus since these are slightly taller than the jaws of the part vise it would make working on whatever you have in the jaws difficult if it was small. But using only one would be possible but kind of pointless since they come as a matched pair anyways
Question:	Is it necessary to use two of these to make them work
Answer:	It´s made of aluminiun...
Question:	Is this made of steel
Answer:	It has been hardened. You could use a cut off abrasive wheel on angle grinder.
