Zyliss Aluminum Vise

[WesternSaw]

Hello Fellas
I really don't think I have been on this forum before but it seems like the place to put it,also maybe i will place it on the Off Topic as well.Does anyone here own a Zyliss portable bench vise ,or one of the knockoff's like it?Maybe the Power Pro 2000,or similar.I have had one handed down to me and so far there seems to be only one part missing.Do you know if the parts from these different vise's can be interchanged?Maybe I have an earlier model of the Zyliss as there is no engraved Zyliss logo on mine.Do you know where to get parts for these Canada ,USA?Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in Advance
Lawrence

The only thing I know about them is from a book I have on making woodworking benches.
From memory they look pretty good and are well made.

Sorry if that informations not much use, its all I know.

Hello Ted, Thanks for the link to the vise.i think i am missing what is called a remote.It let's you move the one jaw of the vise to whatever length you would need.I will have to search around to see if I can find a part
Many Thanks
