I am in the process of getting everything ready to build a woodworkers bench. The current plans are for a wagon vise on the end and a leg vise. No problem there.
Here is the question, is there any reason - except the slowness of the opening and closure of the vise - I could not use a thread maker and use 1
1/2 6tpi wooden screw on the leg vise? I thought about a 1" 6tpi wooden screw on the wagon vise.There has to be a serious problem that I am not seeing and wondered if any of you could enlighten me. The bench is going to be out of 7/4 southern red oak and I was thinking about using the same for the screws.
Thanks
Deb
