Here's Precision Matthews reply.
"Those voids are going to happen, and yes I see them in vises like this a lot. That will not hurt anything, but I will note that if anything is ever caused by that void, we will cover it.
The threads should be OK, I do not see that they look like trapezoidal threads, most larger threads like that seem to have a flat on them that you are seeing. Make sure it works and feels OK, but that looks pretty normal to me, I just checked the part I have in stock with the same threads and it looks the same.
As you can see with the vise you have from before, there is a difference in them, but you should be fine with this one, it will work just as it should.
You can always return it if you do not like it, that's not a problem. We do also have the HAV-4 in stock if you want something along the lines of what you had before."
I'll keep it and use it as is as long as they're willing to replace it should it fail.
