Nathan,
I have no personal experience with the Eclipse vises currently sold by Woodcraft
(3 stores in CO), but they seem to be the closest in design and function to the Record vises, and have good reviews from people that have used the Records. There are others of similar design that release on a 1/2 turn of the handle instead of the “trigger” style of the Records.
I have a Record 7 inch that I picked up at a flea market sale for $20.00 and installed 10 inch oak liners that work well.
I’d like to have a larger vise, mainly for the bigger opening, and am seriously considering the Eclipse 10 inch.
Hope this helps some.
Best,
Craig
