Hey Alan, looks like I was writing my post where I mentioned these at the same time you were! :) I will very likely do exactly this for my leg vise, but haven't found a local source for the $15-$20...
@Peter - Good point regarding the force of multi start threads. That was actually an additional concern I had about the screw I linked in the OP. While I have seen other woodworkers use 2 start...

Hi guys, this is my first post on these forums so my apologies in advance if my noobiness shows through.
I am currently working on a design for my first woodworking bench and would like to make a...
