moravian (Dutch) bench wagon vise

[ken hatch]

I'm considering using the lake erie wagon vise on my moravian bench, which will follow Will Meyers' bench dimensions. My concern is the large size of this vise compared to the smaller one employed by Will and the larger empty space along which the visa travels will be too big on this smaller bench.

Eric,

I think your concern is justified, my portable benches only have 8/4 slab and the Lake Erie screw is much too big. I use a “tail” type vise so seldom a dog hole and the LV dog and screw thingie fills the bill. As always YMMV.
