Nice single pointing.
What steel did you use for the new screw? And did you harden is at all.

I just used some scrap 3/4 that seemed to turn and thread real nice,I didn't harden it, the old one wasn't hardened ,all parts were turned on my 1946 South Bend 10l

Really nice work... I am not sure how you formed the ends with an old router bit. I am a newbee. Could you explain please. Thanks!

Good thing my wife isn't around to comment on it. "The new handle/screw looks very nice but now the vise looks kind of grungy. Don't you think you should fix it up too?" That's how the remodeling of our house got started. :banghead: :rofl:

Nice job btw!
