I just bought a clean 4 Reed 204R off eBay (actually, jOe found it for me and gave me the heads up...thx jOe). . Looking forward to receiving it. Cant decide, because Im confused after reading this thread, if I should mount to my wooden work bench or a huge steel welding table?? I wont be using it for heavy duty work; Ive got a Craftsman for that 5 1/2. Maybe mount the Reed on the wooden bench and move the Craftsman to the welding table? Ted, Im guessing a jeweler wouldnt have much use for your big Wilton, although it is a very nice vise. I think its a matter of the best tool for the job?
