Nice looking vise Ken.

I recently picked up one like your Dad hated and I understand his feelings.

It was a Chinese vise that rotated 360º and had separate pipe and regular 6" jaws. It never seemed to lock in securely, despite his having taken it apart to rework it twice. He'd have been glad to see this thing be removed.

I'm wondering if by " It never seemed to lock in securely" you meant it would still rotate once the jaws were tightened against the item being held.
That is a fault I have experienced.
I seem to remember a post on some forum of a locking solution somebody came up with but I can't remember where it appeared.
Just curious.
