Maybe another vice project.
When attending the Scraping Course, I photographed Phil's superb TOS Kurim mill. The vice mounted on the mill took my fancy. It was very similar to a couple of French SAGOP vices I had found on a Dutch site and was keen on but the seller wasn't real keen on overseas transactions. A machined vice like Phil's lends itself to being a shaper project. What I don't know about is the method used to the retain the "nut" in its various locations between the vice ways. And unlike me, I didn't take enough photos.
Any clues?

The first photo shows my bench mate Bruce looking in equal awe at the mill.

Bob.
You can just make it out in this picture.

Right out near the end, you can see a drilled dimple in the centre of the vice. It has a row of them, down the guts.
The block that holds the screw, that has a ball imbedded in the bottom, and a cross pin forward of that. So when you do up the screw, the block rocks back on the pin and locks the ball into that detent dimple.
Give me a second, I’ll get my camera.
One of the boys here posted a very similar, if not the same as, just recently. I think it was one of the Adelaide guys.
Phil.

The bent shifter is a classy touch.

Vice
Greetings Chaps. I put thyis comment on another thread but the bottom vice with the 1/2 round holes was very similar to one I used at Nestles many years ago. I was very taken with it. It held the work piece extremely well and I would have taken it home but it was too heavy. Yours 4-6-4

So it weighs around 20kg? (after all, every one knows that bathroom scales always read on the heavy side)

I got one too!
I think this came off Ebay a few years back... it has suffered some butchery around the dimples and the swivel base is missing.
I wonder if the dimpled surface can be machined smooth and the dimples cleaned up with a ball nose end mill?
Edit: also the first time posting a photo here without using Photobucket... then again I'm not bad with computers. I still find them infuriating at times
