I’m putting the stretchers on my Roubo bench and will soon have to make decisions on how to build the leg vise.
I’ve purchased a metal Lee Valley tail vise screw (http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=41664&) for the leg vise. I’m thinking about buying the Benchcrafted roller brackets (http://benchcrafted.blogspot.com/2011/03/benchmakers-apprentice-roller-guides.html) to support the leg vise’s parallel guide. Does anyone have experience with the roller brackets? Are they necessary or even helpful?
