I recently built a version of the benchtop sawing vise AKA Moxon vise. Built out of Cherry and Maple and some metal bits. Screws are 3/4" Acme thread through captured nuts. About 4 1/4" tall, 24" wide with usable width of 15" and opens to about 4" deep. Not perfect but it works.

Well done, and very nice looking, Don. Love the cherry and maple combo.
Nice Don. Kris: I was able to source Acme thread, Acme nuts (hex shaped) and some wheel-type handles for my Moxon build from McMaster Carr. I believe that the McMaster Carr shipping ticket showed up somewhere in my shop a few days ago and I may be able to provide part numbers if you need me to tomorrow.
Really nice! Would have liked to see some build pictures. Sweet!
Thanks David. I will look it up and let you know if I need more info. Appreciate the response.
I got the Acme rod and nuts from Enco-now MSC Direct. I bought metal hand wheels at the same time but they ended up being a little too big for the boards I had to work with so I just turned my own.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Thanks Don. I will check it out.
Very well done, building a Moxon vise myself is on my to do list....
