I like it! My vice is mounted so high that it's just uncomfortable after while. You have alot more options with this style. Great job!

I'll admit to being influenced by some of Mike's ideas.

My goal is a straight forward chain vise that can do four teeth on one side without being advanced, and with no movement or chatter. I make the plates gauge-specific. Beyond that it is just a variation on the theme from the one Oregon made in the '70s demonstrated here in some of Dennis Cahoon's pics:
