It's nice, but there seems to be a lot of vertical movement of the workpiece when the vice is tightened.  Is there a way to correct that?

It appears to be the whole moveable jaw is lifting. This design of vice is supposed to pull the moveable jaw downwards on tightening. The problem might be due to the much increased height compared with the standard vice.
