Vintage Record Vise No.6 [Restoration]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This old tool restoration is of a No 6 Record vise.
I "needed" a larger vise for my work shop. Restoring an old one was the smart choice.
This Vintage Record No. 6 Vise weighs approximately 70 pounds.

Great to see a quality vice being properly restored ready for use
I use it every day. Thanks for watching
I like the video. Excellent job on the vice and great original colour. My nextdoor neighbour had a no.6 sitting in the garden for many years until recently he kindly gave it to me. Shame to see it just sitting there idle. So I've given it a clean but will probably do a restoration at some point. Bring it back to life and start using it. I live a few miles away from where it was originally made, Sheffield, England. Glad to see they're still being used all over the world. Quality lasts. Well done for bringing your no. 6 to life again. 🤗
Thanks for watching. They are quality and deserve to be saved.
Beautiful restoration of the old Record vice
Thank you
Fantastic job love the colour and a fantastic tip with the spring thanks for sharing and remember#stay safe and make. 🍺🍺👍👍
Thank you
Brian Gardner the spring compression with tie wire is a great idea. There’s another bloke on RUclips using an actual spring compressor for removing valve springs. The other idea was a bloke modified a bar clamp and used that. All good ideas. Here in Oz we have a range of home grown vices from companies such as Carter, Joplin and Dawn. Dawn being the most popular. Unfortunately Joplin and Carter went out of business in the late 1950s and I think Carter in the 1960s, but their vices still go on and I’ve refurbished quite a few and they are back on benches around Australia earning their keep. I have a big ol’ American Parker that I treasure. It’s a bit different in shape to Oz vices but it’s a good, solid workhorse.
Very nice and practical restoration to get this old vise back in service. Good that you found replacements for broken parts. Good work!
Thank you
I love the blue! Excellent work, once again
Yeah, i like it too.
Thank you
That is a vise worth showing some love, big honking monster vise!
Yes it is, I use it every day. Thanks for comment.
Thanks for the info on the parts. Nice job restoring your vise.
My pleasure.
Yes, the blue is a good choice. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job. Like that the vice is bolted down and ready to USE instead of sitting and being pretty
Thanks for the comment....It is a great vice I use it every day.
Great work mate. There’s nothing I can add that someone else has already said. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. 👍🇦🇺

Thanks for watching
Lovely job 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
lovely vise, nice job, good that you can get parts on line, i wouldn't have thought to even look for spares, you live and learn.
It amazes me what you came find online.LOL Thanks for watching
Great upgrade from the number 3 Record; the number 6 sure looks sharp in it's new paint job. Que the '70s blue movie music at 6:30 for that vise-on-vise action!
Thx T.
Looks great well done.
Thank you
Cool a real beast of a vice,good work.
Thanks for watching
Real SICK job on that VISE FROM HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a monster. Thanks for watching
fantastic restoration.
Thank you for your comments.
This is the first proper resto I have witnessed on YT of a Record No 6 vice. Well done sir. Pity so much parts were broken... None the less... I am currently restoring my own one I bought from a school and I notice the nob through which the crossbar handle slides is rounding over where it meets with the vice jaw. So I was thinking maybe one should add a washer there to prevent further metal rounding...
Thank you for the comment. A washer may work, but if there is excessive wear you may need to install a bushing.
@@vintagemachineworks Thanx for your comment. My arms and fingers is falling off tonight after 2 days of cleaning, scrubbing, sanding and wire brushing with the drill, so much so that it took me almost an hour to tape up the vise for spray painting. Whatever the case may be, I have dropped it off at my friend the spray-painter and I am getting it back sometime tomorrow. Will look more into the washer / bushing problem then. Super exited!
@@SARSteam These are great old vises and worth the work to restore. Mine get many hours of use, I'm sure you will get many hours of use from yours too.
Thank you, I was looking to find out what way washer goes on spindle since washer has a groove . To confirm oval part goes out flat part toward spring.
Confirmed, Flat to the spring. Thanks for watching
Just had one given me by a friend, was going to throw it out! Just started restoring it, so far just needs derusting and painting I hope. Was also given a work bench by a colleague with a record carpenters quick release vice No. 53. Got it working great, just needs painting. Will do the 2 at the same time. Great video, just what I needed, know about carpenters vices, not engineers though.
Thanks for watching
Very nice
👏👏👏 Top job
Thank you
Use another vise when you use the impact driver to remove the screws on the jaws much easier it doesn’t slide around
Great
Hey! You took the time to use a SANDING BLOCK under the abrasive sheet. High marks.
Thank you
@@vintagemachineworks ; I have a wood lathe made by Record. Decent machine.
Good job and great experience 👍
Thank you
That turned out great
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
I've got one of these. Cleaned it and found no parts are broken just need to strip it apart paint and grease it up. Great piece of kit!
These old Record vises are great
Just got this exact same vice. The sheer weight of it alone will make it a pain to restore it xD Luckily it's in much better shape.
Gran Trabajo.
Gracias
Nice restoration!
Thank you
Excelente trabalho, primoroso. Parabéns 👏🇧🇷
Obrigado
Nice work there fella. Where did you get the spare parts from I have struggled to get any fro record. Thanks
When I rebuilt this vise parts where available on Amazon. Irwin tools will have lesser quality parts on line. Thanks for watching.
Hello
I have one like this only it is No. 5 does anyone know how old it is
Not really sure how to date your vise. The Record Tools Factory originally established in 1898 in the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield in the UK. Record was purchased by Irwin tools around 2012 and moved manufacturing to China.
As long as it says made in England it is a quality vise.
thank you very much if it is a very good vise
Where did you find replacement parts.
We got the parts on Amazon it comes as a package.
Serious question: Why do you not use either "C" or "F" clamps or another large vise to hold the parts securely which you are attempting to dismantle, instead of continuously chasing the parts all around the workbench each time you must employ force to remove locking devices such as roll pins, keyways, screws, bolts, carter keys, etc. ?
It's not always easy to just clamp large items to my bench...But now I do have a large vise. :) ..Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@vintagemachineworks If your workbench was not designed to allow clamps to be attached to it, then I would suggest that you go to your nearest woodworking supply store and buy yourself a couple of woodworking hold-down bench clamps. All you will need to do is to drill a few holes in the top of your workbench and when needed just insert one or more of the clamps into whichever holes are in the best place to hold down the part, then you remove the clamps after they are no longer needed. Such similar type clamps that work in the same way are also sold by welding supply stores, either type of clamp will solve your problem.
love the restoration, great colour.can you tell me what colour code you have used and is it enamel?great looking vice.thanks
Thanks for the comment. The paint I used was a spray paint by Krylon, it is called Regal Blue, (Gloss) and I purchased it at my local auto parts store.
A vice holding a vice. Well you don't see that everyday
Is the no6 vice made of pure steel or is it something else?
I believe these old vises are made of cast steel. The newer vises are made of cast iron and are not as strong
Hi, love your attention to detail job well done!!
I have just bought a number 24, one of the jaws has suffered from an over enthusiastic angle grinder user and needs built up somehow noticed you welding a small ding.
Mine has more top surface area that needs built up have you any suggestions?
If you don't have a welder, I'm not sure. If you watch my other video on the record #3 vises you can see all I did there was grind more off and try to blend in the nicks and gouges.
Hey, are you in Canada?
I was looking at your maximum impact set :)
Do you know a good resource for record Vise parts? I’m in Atlantic Canada.
I am on the west coast of Canada. So far I have been able to buy the parts I've needed off Amazon. These are great vises and worth the effort to restore.
Totally agree. I’m heading to pick up a record No. 6 tomorrow. It like yours needs a bit of help, but I hope I can make it look half as good as yours turned out in the end :)
@@cteddy2850 Thank you.
I have a vice like this which I need to make replacement jaws for remotely. It would be nice if you could indicate the thread. No one seems to tell what this is. Some vendors of jaws+screws offer 1/4" or 5/16" and it looks like a coarse thread. It's English so I'm guessing 1/4" or 5/16" Whitworth (BSW). It's good to see you know how to use a wire brush and can of paint but technical detail would be nice, if that's not beyond your pay grade.
I have one of these big boys. The non quick release model. It was discarded by an engineering company many years ago, so I saved it from the scrap merchants. I didn't find a use for it until the nearside rear trailing arm on my Mondeo got bent. Don't ask. Anyway, it was the perfect tool for the job, excepting sufficient pressure to straighten it - as you might expect.
But the Main Screw has a HUGE amount of backlash (several turns!), probably why it was thrown out. Have you ever come across this issue? And if so, any ideas what the cause might be? I know I should be able to figure it out, but I'm not too proud to seek advice from those with obviously more experience.
It looks to be 40 years old at least, and has been heavily abused. Both Jaw Plates were totally mangled and incapable of holding anything close to the edge. But before buying new ones, I tried reversing them. It worked a treat!
Thank you for sharing your restoration. It's inspired me to sort out these other issues with mine and restore it to its former glory.
Peace
Thanks for watching. My guess to your backlash issue is probably a broken spring or the pin that holds the spring. These big vises are worth the time to save. Best of luck.
@@vintagemachineworks Thanks mate. after watching your vid all the way through, I was thinking the same thing. Much appreciated.
Great video, great job too.
I've got a No3 and No4 to refurbish at some point. Both are very old as they have the patent numbers on the side. Definitely worth doing though as they both have lots of life left in them
Can I ask where you got the spare parts from? Thanks
I was able to buy the parts on Amazon.
Great work…..I have a no.24 that was dads and over 50 years in the family. But after considerable use slips when clamping tight. I would like to restore it. I noticed you purchased new parts for yours and will probably need the same. Where did you find yours. Any help appreciated btw I’m based in Australia. Cheers
I actually found parts on Amazon, but I believe Irwin Tools may sell replacement parts online.
@@vintagemachineworks no luck with amazon here. I mite have to get one machined up.
@@Diba7188 Don't know if they have the parts you need but try Knighton tools.. www.knighton-tools.co.uk/acatalog/Record_vice_spares.html
Where did you get the spares from?
I actually got the parts from Amazon
Excellent! Were the replacement parts readily available?
Replacement parts where readily available when I rebuilt this vise. I got them off Amazon. I think now you can still get them, or Google Irwin Vise parts.
He restore a vise with an other vise.
What!....no grease?
It was well greased, At 14:40 you can see all the contact surfaces being greased. the main screw was also greased but I guess it was not shown in the final edit. Thanks for watching
@vintagemachineworks you made such a good job of the restoration lm sure you greased everything up well. Btw what type of grease did you use. Thanks in advance as lve got the same vice l want to restore.
@@stevewoodward7850 Whatever synthetic grease you can get will work good
Best to use oil. Lubricate regularly certainly but not with grease. You can get oil into places where you have to strip it down to regrease. These vices were designed to be lubricated with oil.
Oh, the solitary workman. So lost in his struggle he can't bring himself to even speak. No story here.
Once more somebody else who can’t speak Bloody mime artists I hate him just explain yourself in whatever language you speak👎🏿
Thank you for your comment. I like to let the work speak for itself. If there is something you don't understand or a question you would like answered, please feel free to ask.
