   Those are designed to press, but if you ditched the end pads and buried the threaded ring portion in the body of your moxxon it could work. I used something like that to build a wagon vise into my bench and it works very well.

   I think you will find an uncomfortable amount of thread protruding unless you intent to significantly modify its operation.

   exactly what i used to build mine 4 years ago. Parts were the right price and does everything i expected a moxxon vice is meant to do.

   I considered those when I build mine b/c I wanted it to screw in, not turn on the threads like most Moxons.

   What MJ said is what I was going to do, and put a bushing between the handle and chop to offset.

   I ended up going with threaded rod and wheels, locking the wheels onto the threads and burying a nut in the rear face.

   The link below is an article by Jeff Miller that has a bench top bench with a Moxon vise made with veneer clamps: https://www.finewoodworking.com/issue/2005/03/issue-176
   I made a similar one but used the parts from an old cheap wagner bench clone.

   I did one using Golds Gym dumbbells. I think they are around $7. You can thread them in and and out so you don't have more bar out front than you need. It was what I wanted at the time, cheap.

   I did plans for a fellow for a simple portable Moxon-style vise using the Gold's Gym dumbbell handle for the screw. It clamps to the bench. This is a view from the back.

   Thanks to all. The link to the build in FW looks perfect...
