I don't think a carriage bolt is what you need. A carriage bolt has a
round, domed head with a square extension under it. Used to join wood
members. Drive the bolt tight and the square part in the wood keeps it
from turning. What should work is a standard machine bolts and nuts.
Of course you will have to use a wrench to loose/tight em.

Usually the underside of the vise base has an arced slot with square sides.
I suggested a carriage bolt as it has a square shoulder that would fit in
the slot to prevent rotation when the nuts are tightened from the top. But
if this doesn't work for some reason, he is at the hardware store with all
the pieces so they can see the problem and suggest the solution.
