Have you got Record V175 vice?

Question

I've not used the vice on my workbench in the garage for years but on doing so I discovered that it closes fine, but when you open the jaws the threaded shaft that the handle attaches to just come out of the front.

On examining the mechanism I can see that there is a groove going all the way round the shaft and a big washer that's still there. I reckon there must have been something fitting into the groove to allow the shaft to push agains the front jaw to when the vice is opened and that is what's missing.

Is it a large circlip that missing? I wonder if anyone could look at their vice and advise me

Thanks

A 1 1/2 " oval should suffice IIRC back to the dark daies of yore.

Sadly, my cheapo Chinese imitation one has the opposite problem: the screw thread has worn away inside the fixed jaw, so it is just a paper weight now. Sad.S

My name is Derek and would be grateful for some advice I have the circlip mentioned above but I am unsure when you put it back in the record vice does it go in front or behind the large flat washer on the threaded vice handle Thank you

it captures the washer betwixt the thread and jaw.

I think you missed the point. CD was referring to the HOH link, not the wiki one.Tim
