What is the best hardware to mount this to a workbench?

I used 2 5/8" grade 8 bolts and 1 lag screw. Bolting though the bench top with construction grade fender washers between the nut and the wood will give out standing strength. Because of the way my bench is built i could not go through the top so I used a heavy lag 5/8" lag screw. Incidently, this is a excellent quality vice and I am very happy with this purchase I use it everyday as a professional gunsmith. www.gunsmith.us.com

Three inches. That's thick. And that IS a consideration. My workbench just had a 3/4" work surface with 2x4 skirting, so I had to mount a 2 & 1/4" block first. That works, but it's not ideal. Vice comes with really good clear mounting instructions in normal English.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

It depends on the wall surface you are trying to mount it to. A wood wall or thick paneling will mount easy. Just use some 2-3" drywall screws and a power drill/screw driver. If you are attaching to sheetrock, you should use some butterfly or toggle bolts. It comes with plastic anchors, throw them in the trash as they are useless for supporting any weight other than the shelf.

There are low voltage boxes that can be installed fairly easily. Search low voltage mounting brackets or box and you'll find what you need.

Take it to your local hardware store they will give you the screws to mount it to the wall

Suggest you use make a template for screw hole position (unless you have help holding the tray) then use an ice pick to make a starter hole in the bottom of desk for the mount.

They recommend brackets by SanuD or OmniMount. Two threaded holes in back and one on the bottom. Good luck!

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

It doesn't come with mounting hardware and I don't know what you would need to do it properly. I just screwed it onto a wall through the aluminum frame and it is solid as a rock.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors. take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

The mounting holes are on 9-3/4" centers. You should use flat head screws, #8 would do. Adding a flat washer would be good. The type of screw depends on what you are mounting the box on.

You are correct about the hardware. You should have a minimum of a 25 1/2 " width to mount this tray.

We screwed ours into a 2X8 board that was anchored to the wall with 3" lug bolts in our garage. You should check the weight load of the butterfly bolts but I would err on the side of caution. If you want to be sure then be sure that the tools and equipment can bear the load. Also you might want to check with a local bike store, they have loads of experience and information. Good luck.

Mounting at angles (depending on how much angle your talking about) may not be the best method. It would be advisable to contact the Mfg. before proceeding with an angle mount.

We bought this for an island counter top in our kitchen. Great piece, I would certainly think it would be fine for a workbench.

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.
