I am rather surprised the exposed threads of the Wittner C44 are not damaged in the least. On that "utility" vise, the exposed screw allows for "the dynamic jaw square slider." Is that feature more robust or accurate than the more common C-channel guide used to cover the screw? The video I posted docc has some good insights to vise design and explains some of the technical features and limitations of various types. 1 Link to comment

Alright, then, I finally got time to watch the Fireball guy's promo video. Makes me wish I could get a mini-Fireball (I don't need a 259 pound vise!). His design analysis and assessment of the failure points is very instructive. I am now even more impressed with the Wittner Columbian C44. Looks like it has held up to serious hammering and sawing and chiseling for half a century or more . . . 2 Link to comment
