Richard, That vise has become my useful one. It came with rubber faced jaws, aluminum faced jaws and another set which are aluminum and have angled recesses for holding rounds in three different angles. I didn't inquire, but the ad in the Infinity catalog said "Three accessory jaw sets" and in actuality came with three sets of each. The magnetic material is that 'rubberish' stuff and runs the full width.
Dean, the only Hayes stamps I have ever seen are very small fonts; less than a sixteenth. Wood working tools can be made from high carbon steels, and hardened, but metal cutting tools containing Molybdenum or Vanadium, since the late 1800s are ground with silicon carbide (much later, sintered carbides and diamonds) and never supplied in an annealed state. A tiny tool like the one Hayes had would be rendered useless the first time it was tried on any sort of tool steel like HSS, etc. The Hayes Choke reamers were the only tools I ever had with his name on them, and I have no idea how he stamped them.
