Moxon Vise issue

Moxon Vise issue

Got a Moxon vise as a gift a while back (Rob Cosman version so it has the Wood River hardware) It's been awesome but ran into an issue the last couple days - the handles have started to just spin freely and not engage the threads so they won't open the vise.

I figured there would be a set screw or something that holds the wheels onto the screw that had come loose but there isn't one so I'm not really sure whats going on, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious just can't quite figure it. Anyone else run into this?

Very dumb question - blade projection on Veritas Custom 5

I'm having a mildly embarrassing issue with a Veritas custom 5 that I’d love to get some help with. Basically I’ve been struggling to get the iron to project enough to take a cut. This happened when I first set the plane up but after fussing with it for a while (I.e. taking the iron set on and off about 15 times) I got it set and used it to joint two boards for a project. Plane performed beautifully. 

I had to touch the iron up to and after loading it back into the plane I’m running into the same issue. I know I’m missing something painfully obvious here but I’ve had no issues setting up my other two planes (vintage 4 and LV small smoother) and I’m driving myself a bit crazy.

Finally got a router plane!

Been on my list for a bit now but I didn't want to spend much on a vintage router and I hadn't talked myself into the medium Veritas quite yet. $40 lot from a nice local guy, some junky stuff too but the 271 and 60 1/2 will get some good use

Need to clear out some space so for sale are a couple of planes that I’m not currently using. Selling each for a bit less than I paid

Type 7 5 1/2 - This is a nice user plane, selling because the 5 1/2 size just isn’t for me. Includes a new Hock O1 iron (straight) and the original Stanley iron that has been cambered for rougher work. $140 + shipping via USPS

70mm Kanna - Purchased from Buyee Japan, listed by original seller as a Chiyozuru Sadahide iron. Tested it out for an afternoon when it first arrived and it cut quite well, then removed the iron from the dai to let it acclimate. Since acclimating to the drier US climate the dai has shrunk somewhat so will require more fitting. $125 + shipping via USPS

Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
