Hi all,
I am making a swivel head vice as pictured.

It is to a stage where pieces of plate and pipe have been cut and partially assembled. It is awaiting a thread and nut to complete it..
It is an ongoing work in practice but slowed to a halt since my surgery. During my convalescence, I am hunting out the 10mm x 500 or so, threaded rod & nut, needed to complete the project.

I am clueless as to what threaded rod is best suited, an Acme or a square thread.
I googled some Aussie sites but they are short on info to enable selection.

Any recommendations on what to buy and the best source to buy it from?

Thanks

Grahame
