Moxon Vice parts.

[Kevin Riley]

Looking to build a small worktop bench with MFT holes and a Moxon vice and maybe tail end vice.
Anyone have a good source of moxon vice parts as the kits are quite expensive.
Part of a new shed so maybe a few members might also want to copy the build.
Cheers guys
Kev.

I am looking to build one, I have drawn out the design but it’s not here with me- sorry, what baffles me is why they (nearly) all copy the same design and have the threaded bar sticking out the front. Plenty room at the back out of the way.
Parts nothing very complicated that you can’t make yourself plus some threaded rod, and you don’t have to follow the herd and have wheels, a cranked handle is easy to make. Some people have used small weightlifters weights as wheels btw.

This looks decent, although quite pricey when you add the wheels.

They've got some lovely looking nuts too.

Or this, plus a bit of welding.

Or with a bit of adaption, 2 of these and a couple of washers

I think it's probably easier and cheaper to build with the threaded bar sticking out of the front and the wheels spinning on the bar, instead of being fixed and having the bar turn in a nut at the back.

That's what I thought, why have the rods sticking out.
Need to design a way it recedes back so it's compact.

Posted this a while back. No need for fancy hardware as you can nock up a moxon in half an hour at zero cost.
