   I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but try Lie Nielsen, they have a kit.  Also check out Benchcrafted, a new wagon vise that CSchwartz has been praising recently and retrofitted one of his benches with.

   A tail vise is defined as a vise located at the end of a bench, so you could use a face vise is you like.

   How about a wagon vise?  Of course you’re going to have to build a new bench!

   I have worked on a number of benches over the years and this is my new one.  Still in progress...(IMG_4303_small.JPG)

   Surprisingly there are very few tail vise kits around.

   This is probably what you’re looking for.  I have the screw portion of this for a leg vise that is going on my new bench.

   As the other poster indicated

   can’t say one way or the other but the lie Nielsen looks like a better build?  The only thing I don’t like about tail vises is they tend to sag over time and they are complicated to make and install. 

   It’s why I’m going wagon this time around.
