So any newer versions of this vice will have bosses and little turn handles on both ends of the threads? :wink:
Nice vice btw.

The smallest 1/2" has a nut bored before tapping of 3/8ths. the biggest 1 1/2" is bored 1 3/8ths, so relative thread depth reduces as you go up in size. I find this odd, but on the v1 the 'nut' depth is effectively about 60mm. Whatever breaks I cannot see it being the threads.
The main reason I bought this one was for the taps really. I feel 'not fit for purpose' would have been extremely harsh, at £40. But as I say not seen the review.

The Axi set is rather fine pitch for a vice - the big specialist wood screws for vices (often 2"+ stock dia) are far coarser pitch and therefore way faster to use. In theory maybe I can cut really coarse threads on my Myford, but will I ever get around to investigating that??
