   I'm happy with the Record vise I have.   I set the fixed jaw into a mortise so that the front edge of the bench is continuous across the vice.  The moving jaw is mortised into a wooden jaw about 6" wider that the metal jaw.  I inlaid strips of cocobolo inline with the rods.  That way when I clamp a workpiece vertically on either side and line it up with the inlay, it's plumb.  The quick release feature on the vice is very handy.  I also drilled two rows of dog holes that straddle the vice in the bench top to take advantage of the built in stop.
