I broke my screwless machinist vise half way through a project. It could be that I just overtightened it. The part appears to be sintered or cast? The dowel hole is a clearance and they used a grub screw to hold it in place. I fired up my little Taig lathe and made a replacement using some 12L14. The dowel pin is held with a slight interference fit. Anyway, this is good practice for beginners like myself. I got the vise from Amazon.
