I have been going through old photos, there were a lot of those interesting vises of many types. I only have found broken pieces. so far.

The South Bends have an interesting way of repeating your place when threading. It’s not as sophisticated as the one on the 10EE. There’s a piece that attaches to the dovetail of the cross slide, near the handle. There’s a hole in the center of it that a long screw goes through. The screw screws into the end of the cross slide and a nut tightens it to the cross slide. Between where you mount the part and how far you screw in that screw, you have a repeatable, positive stop that can be used for threading or cutting as your zero reference. It works quite well.

The Lodge & Shipley Powerturn had a built in device called a ball stop using a sleeve with a spiral groove that retracts the tool faster than the leadscrew thread, that was nice for Acme threads. The handle retracting devices take practice but are a solution for heavy clunky machines but not near as slick as a Monarch 10ee or a Hardinge with the added leadscrew control. I am not doing work where I am cutting threads daily and it is easy to get out of practice, the machine gets sticky too.
