Olly Parry-Jones asks why the thread on my wagon vice in the current issue of British Woodworking is offset from the dogs. This is as it is on Richard Maguire’s amazing bench, with the thread to one side. If the thread is below the moving dog block you will restrict the length of dogs you can insert in the holes. And to be honest, I was using the holes in the cleat in the end of the Sjoberg bench.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for clarifying this. Makes perfect sense and not something I would probably have thought of, otherwise.
I happen to have two vices so, it’s only fitting that I attempt to install a pair of these vices, when I can get around to it!!
Olly.
