Do you have to have a vise?

I ordered it for a friend, he used a vise which help give him a steady brace to work with on the club. He used some flat rubber pieces wrapped around the club to protect it. He didn't know how ever about he tip from Jadie about wetting down the new tape to help slide the grip on, he had a bit of a harder time.

No need for a vise. Just be generous with the solution, placing it on the tape and inside and on the end of the grip. Then work quickly to slide the grip on. Once it's on you have some time to twist it back and forth to ensure it is straight. Getting the grip completely on the shaft is the important part.

No, you can do it without one. It makes it a little easier if you have one. You basically use a utility knife to cut off the old grip, (use a hooked blade on graphite shafts) then clean off the old tape (or keep it on if you want a bit thicker grip). Apply the new tape, wet it down, and slide on the new grip. The glue on the tape will get slippery and let you pull the new grip on easily if you get it wet enough.

No, but you don't need them. Spring or only about 1 inch thick you need a couple C-clamps to compress spring till you get nuts threaded. Gets lift from bowing springs.

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.

You could but there is no elevation adjustments so it would be rather hard, best just to use sand bags or even just a backpack it's not like a .2 2 kicks so you really don't need a vise to hold it.

You don't have to have either of those things, but I would recommend some clamps for sure to keep things from shifting. In the manual it suggests that the mitre saw can *tip over* backward without them due to the weight of the blade. (Never happened to me thanks to the clamps.) I know I'd prefer mine to be bolted to a worktable but that isn't an option since I have very limited work space in an uninsulated shed and I keep my mitre saw in my room to keep it from getting rusty.

You must twist and push at the same time. The vise is merely a holder for the drill bit, but it gives you complete control for delicate operations.

If you have the right size punch and the gun is in a vise, I dont see why not

If you're changing barrels on an AR it's best to get a bench vise and upper receiver vise block. Even a stout clamp on model will work okay for light duty (not every day gunsmithing) so you don't need a dedicated workbench. I've seen pics of some guys doing their builds with clamp on vises. This CTK is not the right tool for the job you're doing.

No, all you need is a flat head screwdriver and the whole operation takes less than five minutes! If you have larger than normal hands or suffer from arthritis, you will love these grips. PS. great choice of firearm - love my sigs!

I have only had mine for less than a year but I use it often and I have'nt had any problems with it. There are no signs of any wear yet and I believe that it is a well made vise even if it was'nt made in the U.S.'

If your talking about the pipe teeth below the main jaw face than yes. Otherwise, no. The primary vise face is smooth. Honestly though, anything that i would want teeth for I would also want a larger vise for. That said I've used it to cut pipe with a hacksaw and with a pipe-cutter with no issue.

Yes, if you are asking about the base rotation right and left. The right/left rotation is not smooth because the internal parts have teeth. That is you must loosen both locks and lift the vise to rotate. This is more work to rotate the vise, but you do not have to hit the lock bars with hammer to be sure it stays in place while working.

The vise is designed for a bench top about 3 inches thick. I think 5 inches would be too thick unless you mortise it for the vise.

Yes, no tools required. Just have to go through the procedure to set or remove the clamps properly.

this product is not made heavy enough to handle a vise,or do any heavy twisting on it

The unit does not come with files or stump vise. Those need to be purchased separately. Check with your chain manufacturer for correct angles and sizing.

No. That is what I purchased it for. The vise is very small and is smaller than what I thought from looking at the pictures. It really can't hold onto your working surface strong enough if you're planning on removing or attaching a barrel to the upper receiver.
