Information on this vise screw and crisscross is cross posted on my Moravian bench build thread but I think it might be of interest to those folks who could care less about building a Moravian bench.

The view from the front side. Neither the chop or backer board have been trimmed, shaped, or cleaned up, just the vise screw and crisscross have been installed.

From the back side. A couple of things are apparent with this vise kit. The first is it is a much easier install/build than my usual wood screw and parallel guide. The second is it works a treat, give the Johnson bar a push in either direction and it spins until it runs out of energy or runs into something. If it runs into something a slight bit of encouragement and it locks down tight. BTW, one of the reasons for the Classic kit is because I like a handle vs. a wheel.

It works well enough I expect I will change out the vise on at least one of my shop benches.
