Walter, you have the name right, they are called hold downs. Here is a link to Starrett's version: it's the second item on the page.

Can only speak for Kurt vises because that's all I've used.
If your part is lifting, your part isn't square enough to hold in a vise. Give yourself something decent to hold onto and you'll never have a problem.
Instead of the vise jaws contacting the part the hold downs are between the jaws and the part. Use parallels up against the jaws to keep the hold down at the top edge of the jaw. The narrow edge to the work and the wide edge to the vise jaw.How exactly do the vice hold downs work? I cannot seem to visualize it. Do you set them up like parallels?
Thanks, Steve
