My recommendation is a simple addition. As many of these vises have no real control of parallel between solid and moving jaw, a simple jack-screw to insure clamping vs pinching the stock could be worthwhile.

See that hole in the upper left corner of the movable jaw ? Normally a piece of all thread with a handle goes in there to accomplish what you desire. It was removed to unclutter the photograph.
