Better drill press vise?

I've had pretty good luck with those guys.
Did they tell you what class the thread is?

Apparently it's a class 2 thread, mild steel.

Well scratch the smoking deal on the Acme rod. The shipping was under-quoted by $85.
Plan B is 3ft of 12/-10 Acme from Fastener Force for $16.

That's the price here at Bolt supply. Half of that would make a nice vise!

The 12ft for $42 (plus taxes and $15 shipping) was Bolt Supply in Langley. Original shipping didn't account for the length though.
Seems like there's a 50% markup to cut it into 3ft pieces.
