Mines a 8inch Chinese copy of tours @tinman with swivel base. it cane from MSC industrial supplies a few years ago. They were about £90 back then.
I’ve have just looked on there now and they don’t advertise this one any more only the 4Inch version with swivel base at £106ex vat.
I actually got it given to me off a lad at work as he thought the screw thread had seized up, so was scrapping it.
In my last pic there is a locknut with a grub screw in it which had come loose and tightened up on itself making it feel seized I spotted this and asked if if I could have it and he said willingly it’s chinese crap so I took it home, within 5 mins it was perfect again.
I often take it back to work for jobs as it’s far better than the ones we have there as I can’t be bothered messing about with bits of paper to get things square.
I know it’s a tad rusty at the min as workshop gets a little damp in winter as I don’t do much in there with full time work and farm jobs of a evening send weekend but it will clean up soon enough through the summer.
