Scope note
Vises having a threaded nut and flange, which is known as a "box." Early vises had built up boxes, often made by forge welding and brazing parts together; the threads were made by brazing a coil inside a tube. Later, the boxes of box vises were made in solid pieces, often with screw threads being hand turned on a lathe.
