Hi Everyone....

I getting ready to build a Moxon Vice. I cut up an old Weider Barbell with 1 inch Acme threads and the turn locks.

First has anyone used 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch copper tube (or Brass bushings) to line the holes drilled into the front and back vice pieces to help with wear?

Secondly, have you had any issues making the front and rear vice pieces level with each other? I haven't heard anyone address this, maybe I'm overthinking the process, and would a small fraction of an inch really matter that much.......

Thanks for any input..
