Picked up this little bench vise today and spent a couple of hours sanding the surface rust with 600 grit and cleaning the tape and dirt with alcohol and windex. The silicone suction foot is toast but surprisingly is very stable out to a half inch or more without it. Really like the anvil on top and the fact that the jaws rotate and lock. Just a little 3 in 1 on the main shaft and it looks nice and operates smoothly. Probably could dress the jaws a bit. The longer set are 68mm and the shorter set are 42.5 mm with a V groove both lateral and longitudinally. The metal plate can been seen in the 3.5 mm thick silicone so I think the plate was set in a mold and the material poured in around the metal plate. Spent about 10 minutes looking without success for another. Will continue to look for another but this seems like it could be clamped if I needed to put a lot of pressure on it. The only marking is Japan on the endplate with the 3 screws. Overall pretty decent for $5US. Anyway on the the pictures before and after!20231210_1057372.thumb.jpg.73b02d4f5c9bbde726524ddbeb2951f8.jpg20231210_1058262.thumb.jpg.aac56306414240b2aa88f22d295be987.jpg20231210_1058422.thumb.jpg.1ca2c3fdad2853ff2e785c33ae749a5d.jpg20231210_1831022.thumb.jpg.799ef0b188adb868b9e231e217485d73.jpg20231210_1832052.thumb.jpg.522b777776a1931f7b4fa8a2ae739f1f.jpg20231210_1833362.thumb.jpg.360b43c397131f39561c381eec629409.jpg20231210_1836472.thumb.jpg.b609bb22450484817cff48157724c25c.jpg20231210_1845502.thumb.jpg.73a80b753540b8793b08e120f6d93435.jpg20231210_1859202.thumb.jpg.d4fde2585b137ee894e7dabfcfa9ff8a.jpg
