Throw Back Thursday...............Regal Vise

[Byron haugh]

The precursor to the original (or, perhaps, the original) Regal Vise.

An oak model with the "beaver Jaws".

Very cool Regal ---- never heard of the beaver jaws!

[gordo7]

Before my time. Remarkable condition for an 'Old Timer'; something I know a bit about.......

Very interesting Byron, it looks like you haven't used it. If you have what do you think of the Beaver Jaws. As they no longer make them I have to wonder why not?

Cheers,
A.

Hi Byron,

I've never seen that type either. All the folks that have complained about the hook spitting out and chipping the jaws would find it hard to do with that design .

Mark,

Apparently Regal liked the spring loaded mechanism but decided against that jaw tip design for some reason. I'm thinking most tiers didn't give it a good review.

Do you know how many of this version were made?

[Allan]

Not a clue. Since you have one, what's your opinion of the 'beaver jaws'?
