La Forge Royale Miter Jack Hard Maple Screw and Nut
Limited time Pre-Order with 15% discount through 11/23, production run expected to ship February 2026
The La Forge Royale Miter Jack wooden vise screw and nut are the precise clamping components needed to build and power this amazing vise form.
The vise screws are hard maple with an 8 sided grip, 1-3/16" diameter threaded section with 4 turns per inch and 90 degree threads. 90 degree (flatter) threads are less likely to chip on smaller threaded vises and are the type that we use on our Moxon screws as well. 60 degree threads (steeper) work better for larger screws with lower turns per inch (bigger threads) as they have more surface area for the screw and nut to engage; that is the type that we use on our larger bench size vises.
The vise screw and nut block are sized to work with the La Forge Royale Miter Jack drawings made by Benchcrafted available here. They will also work with Red Rose Reproductions Miter Jack engineered drawings available here. The vise screw is sanded and ready to finish and the nut block is milled to size, ready for your next assembly steps.

Note:
The Screw & Nut kit does not include the metal hardware, you will need to purchase that separately from Benchcrafted here.
You can also purchase a full set of Miter Jack engineered drawings from Red Rose Reproductions here.

Testimonials
“Hi Nick, The plane blades arrived today, and just wanted to say how happy I am with them. It has been well worth the wait! The blades are also the flattest I've ever experienced. Almost no effort to get the back polished and the edge sharp. The care and attention to detail really shows. The blades take on a great edge and take beautiful fine shavings - and I'm looking forward to having to sharpen less :-) Thanks again!”

“Nick is the wood-machining genius behind Lake Erie Toolworks, which makes stunning wooden-thread vises. I have installed dozens of his vises on benches and have one on my Roubo. Nick’s wooden screws are the best – better than even the best vintage screws I’ve encountered.”

“Howdy. Love the blade I picked up a couple months ago. Best on the market, that’s no BS. I don’t think I’ve used a different blade in my 51 since getting one. When it dulls I sharpen it on the spot over swapping in an A2 because they chip/leave marks on end grain so quickly. It’s crazy how much better these hold an edge.”

“I'm really enjoying the replacement blade that you sent for my L.N. 102. It cut cherry end grain beautifully. I shall be ordering about 7 or so replacement bench plane blades from your company soon.”

"I don't think it would be physically possible to do cleaner work than what Nick has pulled off. These screws are a work of craftsmanship of the highest order."
