I use it to saw wooden planks. Is it strong enough to hold small lumber without the pieces sliding around?

It is hard to be sure without knowing your definition of "small" lumber. The jaws are very strong and secure. The weakest point of this vice is the mounting system.

I think it should hold small lumber. I've been using it mostly to cut glass with no problem.

It would have to be pretty strong! I had a friend build wooden stands for mine instead.

Yes. It is very strong. Just make sure you have tightened it securely and what you attach it to is also strong enough to bear the weight

I think so - there are small places where the bolts that secure the legs pop through - like little dimes on the surface of the wood. It might be workable for puzzling :-)

Yes if you have a safe secure way such as a small ratchet strap to bind it. It can more than handle the load. I been using mine to transport firewood from the garage to the house without "ANY" issues.

I doubt it will work well for objects which may move when in use. Tables probably ok if use the larger size.

I don't know that it would be worth it. It has two bars that run back to the far side. The attachments are kind of like c-clamps with bolts/butterfly knobs to hold them in place, designed to go around metal spring bases, so you'd have to do some serious bending and stretching to get it to fit on wood planks. If your base is solid wood with no gaps, then definitely no dice.

I use it to make jewelry so people can have extra rope if they need it. It is very strong. I'm sure it would hold, but wonder about the carabiners.

No. That wouldn't be a safe option. This item is meant for a side rail to be screwed to the wood plank the comes with it. I wouldn't suggest using this item in that way

I do not believe this net would be strong enough for that application. I used it to hang stuffed animals from the ceiling and I think that is the limitation of its use. I hope that helps.

Yes, it's not a problem. I don't know how much it can hold, but it is a very thick piece of wood.

Not really, my use is limited to small jobs on soft wood . It is not for heavy use .

It's pretty strong but if you are molding slim areas like necks & wrists or attaching things, that might be a problem. It will fall if nit supported with something. I used tooth picks.

Its very strong but I think the problem you would have would be the bouncing and such would make it lose its grip, so no I wouldn't trust it for that purpose

I would think so, although I've only used it on brick and wood. Plastic is lighter so I think it's would hold well.

Don, I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece. Dave

Hard to say for sure. We use it to hold open a french door -- wood outer frame, with a large glass panel. It holds it easily, even though it sits on a slick floor. I'm tempted to say it will do okay, but I just don't know about your application.
