Have you got Record V175 vice?

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.

Thanks for those responses

Looks like it's about 14mm in diameter so I've ordered a variety box of
circlips from Ebay!

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.

Hi. Not sure if this will go anywhere! I've the same problem. Is this a 13mm or 14mm E-clip that I need, please?

Ooh-er. You published a link to a very dubious website!

What? Just because it's running over plain HTTP?

I don't really see the issue with that - it's just a wiki with public
information. I know that some browsers try to warn people about it
though.

I think you missed the point.

CD was referring to the HOH link, not the wiki one.

Oh yes, I'd assumed it was the DIY wiki http link, not the HOH one.
