How well will this work as a vise for working on lighter projects (sub 70lbs) - torquing/hammering/etc/welding?

Not sure, gave it as a gift. Feedback from person I gave it to is verygood.

Im very happy with it. Im mostly using it in place of a joiners vise, and it accels. Though not apparent by its look, the clamping pressure is very responsive, and can be controlled easily. I think they even clamp in a raw egg on a promo video I saw. It can tilt a bit if you are torquing on it, like bending pipe, but that can be mitigated by putting your foot in the stirrup thing at the end of the front leg.

It depends how heavy is going to be this magnet can't hold a lot of weight there more for a lightweight projects.

It will probably meet your needs. I've used it for baseboards and kitchen trim/moulding and it's worked well. I've also used it to throw together temporary or rough projects, and it does the job. For thicker wood I use a 16 gauge brad nailer for the added strength. The nice thing about the 18 gauge brads is that they leave a very small hole to patch. I have two Porter Cable nailers, and have had no problems with them.

Yes it'll get the job done with more to spare.Read the instruction manual on using the torque setting for drilling and screwing.

It really light weight, made of sheet metal and cheap. I would look for something better to mount a Gun vise on.

The work bench is very stable (weighs close to 150 pounds). Would not wobble at all on the legs to use a reloading press, but the back board and whatever tools you have on it would shake a little bit probably. If you have it against a wall this would probably be minimal.

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

Depends on the size of the vise. The table top is made of two jaws that open and close. If your vise is large, it will extend over the second jaw and opening and closing will be hard or impossible. I have a smaller vise mounted on mine and it works very well. The table top jaws work well as a soft vise too.

I'm afraid your vise is simply too large for this cross slide table. It is a micro table and is small. I use a 3' drill press vise that weighs about 4 lbs. and it is even a little big on it. I would advise you to find a larger table for a vise that's over 12 lbs.

I don't know the exact torque value, lets just say it's good for light work and tight spaces which is why I got it. If you need heavier torque, I suggest you purchase a butterfly impact gun, flexable and easy to use. Assuming you have compressed air, beyond that, you would need a standard impact driver for the tough ones, and impact bits.

I have not yet mounted it, just came the other day. It looks like 3/8 bolts or lag screws would work well. I did not measure the mounting hole, but they are larger than 3/8. Be sure to look at other comments and product reviews. This is a quality vise, but the specs are not accurate as listed on Amazon.

I'm actually using it for lightweight, hobby-type projects. The bench itself is very sturdy but I haven't stress-tested it.

I do not see any reason why it would not work. I have used the unit itself as a vise while I drilled something out and it worked beautifully. Good luck.

Yes I use one and this vise works great!!just have to get it set up nice and square.

Just be sure you tighten all those screws tight with the allen wrench provided. Easy enough and weighs more then I thought. Good luck

With a sawing motion, I would have to say no. They make a small metal vise I got on Amazon for around 30 dollars.

It may be too heavy for work above your head but should be alright for anything lower. I always rest the saw on the branch before I turn it on and that helps with the weight. I am 5'5".
