What size bolts are recommended to mount this to a bench?. I understand length depends on your bench, but otherwise, dimensions would be appreciated.

The biggest that will fit in the holes... I used 1/2-13 with locking nuts and 2x2x.25" backing plates. Good vise!

Very definitely mount in a stud.. consider the length of the arm and what is on the end :) good luck

Probably not. Buy a heavy duty bench vise that bolts permanently to your workbench.

Depends on the vehicle. Research on the Curt website first. My vehicle used four frame bolts already on the vehicle. Curt website should advise.

I think the mount would be just fine. You need to replace the bolts with hardware heavy grade bolts because those provided are cheap. Also, the overall biggest factor is the surface you are mounting to. Is it solid and sturdy?

Just went out and measured. You are in luck...mounting bolts are 5x12-1/2. Btw...seats have held up very well

You should be fine using longer bolts. I would recommend pre-drilling first just to protect the stud. It's going to take enough abuse. I wouldn't use anything smaller then a 3" just because you will have a weak point with the sheetrock being between the stud and the bracket. Unless you cut out the sheetrock just big enough for the bracket...?

The screw mounts are recessed. I think the bolts I bought had a 1/4" head on them, about 1/2" length. I think the holes are 1/8" diameter. I had another mount on a platform on my bike, removed it, and put this one in without having to modify the holes. Even used the same bolts. Best advice I can give you is wait till your get yours then take it with you to the hardware store as you will have several options on bolt length and head size.

get 4 lag bolts from the hardware store for less than a dollar, drill pilot holes into your bench and mount... pretty self evident.

I am not sure of the size, sorry. But it uses a type of tightening screw that secures it to the original superbench. I doubt that any other bench uses the same size screw.

Yes, I forgot what sized bolts were included( if any, I actually forgot) but you could just buy the correct size bolt for whatever size plywood your bolting it too.

1-11/16".It is too tight to put on my 1-3/4" work bench (if you taped it with a hammer it would probably fit)

It depends on what you are mounting it to. I mounted it to a dense plastic material, and used 3 inch wood screws.

Bill , You will need an " Allen Wrench " ..... Take one of the assembly bolts to your local hardware store . They will have an Allen Wrench to fit your bolt . Take it home and you will be able to assemble your bench in about 5 minutes ...... Good Luck and Merry Christmas ! P.S . If you have no hardware at all you will need to have the manufacturer send you a new assembly package with bolts and an "Allen Wrench " ...... Look in your shipping box for an envelope or plastic bag containing assembly bolts and the wrench . If it is mandatory to assemble this before Christmas ..... Take all the pieces to the Hardware store and they may have the bolts and wrench you need . I had this same problem on another product and I notified Amazon and the manufacturer sent me everything right away !

I agree with other reviewers. This Workmate is not intended as a mount for a vise. To a degree, the Workmate is a vise in its own right, and that is about as far as I would go with it. If you want to use a vise, whether metal or wood working, mount it to a proper bench.

No i haven't...you probably have to find the correct screw type. It would make the work bench less stable

the side bracket holes I used just a standard screw size, the top bracket I would recommend bolting all the way through the top for more support. Can't remember the sizes but they are pretty standard you can pick up the bolts at any Hard wear store.
