Then you can give it to me.Sell it to me and you'll have no dilemma!
Then you will get the good feeling of helping others.

But it will gather dust, leading you to suffer.Or I can keep it and have the good feeling of helping me.
Give it to me and you will not suffer.
It will get dusty with grinding dust. Thats what vices are for.

But you will have to clean that dust. More work, less output.It will get dusty with grinding dust. Thats what vices are for.
But here it will be used by others, cleaned by others.
Many hands make light work.

To be honest I am Fortis / Record man but as I had heard so much about them I bought a Swindons when one came up at what I thought was a good price.Sell it to me and you'll have no dilemma!
I do have a Polish vice I still cant make my mind up about but a Polish Chap told be its a good one made by BENN Bielsko, until recently it was on a bench in Winchboys Garden with a plastic tub over it!
It's now inside. The front jaw is fixed rear one moves which I thought was point less but it doesn't intrude in to the are you are standing it, its more balanced so for now its another keeper.
I also have a York and a few Little imps.
I do have a vice problem!

ref Winchman and arctourist fine Swindens - here's my 'The Herbert - Amourers Vice' patented because fabricated from welded plate/tube (19 pieces, a bit heavy with the weld, but should be even stronger than the Swindens) 4in straight jaws, 2.5in curved, 44lbs) only made by Geo Herbert (big London weigh machine company ) as part of their WWII effort, 1940/50s - one size of this and a straight vice which later became the Record Leader Steel.
I mounted it on a spring/gas loaded cylinder lift, which gives a very secure height and swivel adjust (found in junkshop, think it's an older version of one still sold by Leinen or Heuer for a reasonable price for different weights of vice -recommended - (mine pot luck £25 - didn't know it would work until got it home)

Speaking of " spring loaded ", awhile back I acquired a spring loaded adjustable height steel work bench. A good platform for the Swinden's vice. The table swivels 360*, and is good for welding smaller stuff.

even better - good vice stands/platforms/tables are not easy to find - this looks the best
ps just edited post -- both Leinen and Heuer have similar adjustable height and swivel posts - I'd say get em while you can (I think there must be a car-type shock/spring inside the cylinder)
Haven't seen anything that's different or at a reasonable price, can't sell any either

I'm simply all viced out, now.
It'd have to be something truly special to consider a new addition.
