Josh-L, what you’re observing is a correct observation. It is due to the design characteristic of your vice style. Please read this previous post from earlier this year. Make sure you click on the blue links in this post and the linked forum posts and read them thoroughly. This should help you to understand the clamping issue you’re experiencing.
When you run out of adjustment screw with the micro-fine adjustment, you sometimes have to loosen the coarse angle adjustment and move it out to the next higher degree mark. Tighten it securely and then readjust the microfine accordingly. Sometimes the left and right rod angle settings to achieve the proper bevel angle will read different angles off the square bar and be tightened in different angle detent holes. These angles are only a guide. The digital angle cube reading is what you should go by.
