Hi Willym24
This is a real hard one
in the of case of a Vise the bigger the better, they are all made about the same way ,if you can find one that slides out (Quick Release) then clamps so you can screw it down on stock works best and it makes it quick and easy to drop stock in place, some come with a Dog that you can install in the push block (vise block,hard wood the norn.the dog is a black iron block 1 1/8" x 1/2" thick x 3" long with push up button) and you will use it all the time but it must be a strong one and one that can drop out of the way when you don't need to use it.
Most of the vise dogs are small, find one that's widest one you can find and the tallest.
Good luck with your quest.

I should note *** I made my vise with some 1 1/4"-6 Acme threaded rod and Acme nuts (that I cut in 1/2) that I got from a fastners supply company and some copper fitting from H.Depot, total cost was about 18.oo bucks but I'm a cheap SOB . :
If you want to see a snapshot just ask and I will post one.
