Movable Jaw. Hole down the center is for a captive nut that should spin freely, allowing the movable jaw to be moved forward and backward. Movable Jaw clamp. Use machine screws to connect the movable jaw to the movable jaw clamp. Knob for the end of the threaded rod. Insert a nut into the bottom of the knob, then fix the knob to the threaded rod. Step 1) Insert the first nut into the hexagonal hole in the vise base and secure it with adhesive. Step 2) Insert the second nut into the hexagonal hole in the bolt knob, using an adhesive to glue it in place. Step 3) Place the third nut in the center hole of the movable jaw. Step 4) Install two small machine screw nuts into the captive nut slots in the movable jaw. Place the moveable jaw in the vise base and fasten the movable jaw to the movable jaw clamp using the two machine screws. Step 5) Apply Loctite to the end of the threaded rod, then thread it through the nut inserted into the bolt knob. Once the Loctite has set on the knob, thread the rod through the nut in the back of the vise base. Finally, apply Loctite to the other end of the threaded rod and thread the nut inside the moveable jaw.
