I am still building the vise to use the four lobe wheel.So what's the verdict Mike? 4 or 5 lobes?
Looks like four lobes has a slight edge since the deeper cutout gives one just a bit more purchase for the final snugging. The advantage is slight but quite tangible.So what's the verdict Mike? 4 or 5 lobes?
The screw and nuts are from a 14” dumbbell handle. With COVID, these are sometimes hard to get. I ordered some from Walmart last week (limit 4) for $6.87 each and now they are out of stock again. They don’t last long in the stores either.What are you using for screws and hardware in this vise. I'm ready to start a workbench, but can't really invest in the Benchcraft kit which is awesome I'm sure.

That's great, I was having a hard time finding a screw. Even the Yost screws are not available.@Mark Johnson I used a dumbbell handle for my moxon vise, and bought an inexpensive vise screw when I built my leg vise.
