Hi all,
I have had great success using the commercially available screw boxes. I have
used the 1 1/4” for Moxon vices , double screw vices and even wagon vices.
There are two things that make life a lot better: soaking the dowels in mineral
oil for a week or so and fine tuning the cutters so that it doesn’t pinch. Farm
supply S outlets have the best price on mineral oil up here.
Good luck,
James
