A Moxon-Style Vise
-
Thank you, gentlemen.
baz, I'll be interested to see what youcome up with for that.
jtri, this latest vise is from a design by a woodworker on one of the woodworking fora that I am a member of. Interesting point: He used solid counter top material to make threaded inserts for the chop so it moves in and out with the turn of the hand wheel.

I have used "corian" for many things other than counter tops but not as a nut! Your texture should have told me what the material was. Is there a metal insert in the nut or are the threads to be cut into the "corian"? I need a small metal lathe to cut threads and turn some parts. Now to convince the wife...........
-
The guy who designed and built this vise said he threaded the Corain. He also said it was "not an easy task, but time and patience win out." He made a tap out of a piece of the threaded rod. He tapered the end and cut groves down the length.
A metal lathe would certainly be a nice addition to your shop.

I think this is the final of my part in this latest Moxon vise deal.

Very nice. Super-clean presentation.

Thanks Doug.

Fantastic vise!! So many useful and cool details. Oh, really nice presentation too.
Now I just changed my bike chain and cassette and still have the old chain and gears, Going to save them. -
Thank you. Good to have something to do with that chain.
