Picked this up at a yard sale:
It's a 3" wide "Made in England" Woden vise, part 186b/1. After a little research online it looks like this is a pre-1960's vise. I'm really impressed with the quality. The main mounting bolts are obviously machined, which is interesting. The swivel lock mechanism is a neat design and works really well -- when only gently locked down the vise CANNOT be rotated. Jaws open smoothly and the screw has almost zero lash.
Any idea where you'd get new jaw inserts for a relic like this?
