How are Vise clasified for Capacity 203.199.140.143 10:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
"Smooth action provided by dovetailed, long-barreled, unbreakable nut"
this description is used for a Record No.5 Vice, it may be useful if i knew what it meant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.171.31 ( talk) 10:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
The picture of the red engineer's (machinist's) vise was labeled as a rotary table. This is incorrect. Rotary tables have a separate knob that allows the user to rotate the vise (or a mounting plate for chucks) in precise increments. The vise pictured might be accurate to half a degree at best. Over several inches this would introduce an unacceptable amount of error. If anyone has a better caption than the one that I have, feel free to change it, just keep in mind that calling it a rotary table is misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.215.250 ( talk) 03:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't want to immediately alter the [A] cross reference without knowing who put it there or why! It is clearly incorrect (or just badly worded) as I have consulted all editions of the Concise Oxford since the 4th in 1951 up to the current 12th, the Oxford dictionary of English, and the last two editions of the Shorter Oxford and ALL of them use VICE as the British English spelling with only a passing reference to US usage of VISE.
