“The kit is pretty straight forward. If you're not a new woodworker you can probably assemble the vise by only looking at pictures of the finished product. The quality and finish of the parts is good, and the acme threads turn smoothly. The wheels have a healthy amount of weight to them so that if you give them a spin they'll rotate until the jaw contacts the work piece. I personally assembled my vise using two 3/4" pieces of plywood laminated together for each jaw since I didn't have hardwood that I particularly wanted to use for that purpose. My primary use for the moxon vise is dovetailing, and it is one of the best work holding solutions for that task. I spaced the threaded rods to suit the widest boards I anticipate, but if I ever had to go wider, all I'd have to do is make another set of jaws. I chose to go with a jaw design that allows the vise to be clamped to the workbench with holdfasts or a pair of f-body clamps. I would highly recommend this to anyone who dovetails a lot of boards by hand.”

“This unit looks really good. I started cutting holes, got all holes cut. But, when I went to install the 3/4:" treaded rod, It would not go in. My holes where cut exactly to .750". However, the treaded Rod is .760". The rod will not go thru the hole. Now, I have to figure out how to enlarge the hole. Lesson learned, Measure "Everything". Don't assume. It is disappointing to have put in a lot of measuring, and time and not have it go together.”

“The acme threaded rod outside diameter is too large to fit a 3/4" dia. hole. Acme rod 3/4" made in USA will fit a 3/4" hole (several thou under 3/4"). What am I going to do with this threaded rod that is out of spec?”
