The woodworking bench vise is minimal. The acme threading is rough but workable. I found some beech rod and some beech balls. I rotated my drill press table 90° used some clamps and drilled a hole for 3/8” dowel. I threaded the other end so I can attach the handle to the vise.I made jaws out of oak so the vise can get a good bite on the woodworking piece. I lubed the acme screw with lithium grease, wiping off any excess.You can spend hundreds of $$$ on a beautiful smooth turning vise. This vise is minimal but seems to be strong and functional.
