Does anyone have a Record number 3 vice and, if they do, would they mind measuring the overall height and the dpth from the top of the jaws to the top of the slide?

My number 84 is worn out and needs replacing. There are several affordable second-hand number 3s for sale, but I cannot find out the sizes.

Thank you.

Just checked my spare one;
Overall height 6¾”
Vertical clearance inside jaws 2¾”

Screenshot from Record Catalogue No.16

If you’re anywhere near Buxton Derbyshire, it’s not perfect, but going spare.

Thank you for this, Bill. It is just what I wanted to know.

Thank you, also, for the offer of your spare vice, which is much appreciated. Sadly, I am some way off, down in Aylesbury, so I shall have to decline the offer.

Regards,

James
