    Marv,

    These are a great improvement over the extra-high original clamps and the dog point brass screw is a smart addition. I reproduced some of the clamping screws to a Starrett set of v-blocks similar to what you show on the left and had to make proprietary threads on the lathe just like Toolmaker51 mentioned. Your set will be a great addition to any shop. Thanks for sharing this.

    Paul
