I've been using a similar bench with the Veritas end vise for 3 or 4 years now and work part-time building furniture and cabinetry. I find I use the end vise with dogs much like I would use a traditional vise and rarely use the vise for its full width or find a need to drop a piece between the screws. The main disadvantage of it seems that it only has one dog hole in it. The vise is always cranking in or out to get to the next hole and since it has the chain and the twin screws and goes out of alignment over time, it isn't the easiest vise to be cranking. I am about ready to chop it off and put in a Lie-Nielson end vise instead!
