   They are knock-offs of the Record. Call LV and ask them if Anant got the molds and are making them in their India production plant. I heard a rumor to that effect, but at this point it is just a rumor as I have not had time to confirm it.

   Regards...

   Browse through  http://www.wmhtoolgroup.com  they have wilton, columbia, and Jet WW vices.   The Jet WW vice is Very acceptable/w quick release.  The only thing I would change is the wing nut that locks the sliding "bench dog"  A three pointed  1/4-20 knob works perfectly.

   I have a 53E and an Asian knock off from about 15 years ago, (Grizzly I think), not a huge difference between them.  Now my Yost patternmakers vice, well now, there's a vice.

   Yost is a grand vise, But I'll stack my Emmert's Type 2 "Iron Hand"  up against your Yost ;-)    I really lucked out at an Antique Store, believe I got it for $55 if memory serves.

   10Saw,

   I have the LV Medium Vise and it works good - no issues with it at all.
