Bench-screw and garter
 
A simple shot of the bench-screw and garter, showing how the fingers of the garter seat in the groove. Make the mortise for the garter deep enough in the base of the jaw so that both the garter fingers and U-shaped lower diameter fully engage the slot in the screw. This helps even out the wear on the garter fingers, prolonging the life of the garter.
