What is the min and the maximun that the thickness of the workbench can be to mount the vise to the bench?

I don't think it matters how thick since you screw into the top of the bench. If the material was super thin like a .5 inch you might have issues with strength or the small screw poking out the bottom. Height of the table is more of the issue, though there is some adjustment to the step height. You just don't want it too high since the vice is fairly tall and anything you put in it adds extra height.

Based on my installation, I would recommend 1" or greater...solid table top

Minimum 3/4" on wood, 3/8" steel plate, after that it you can go as thick as you want, mount bracket is 3/4" angle iron - L shape

I believe that the vise would fit but I doubt that the workmate would be stable enough to put much torque on anything that is in the vice.

It comes with 3 screws to attach the vise to the base. There are 3 more holes on the circumference of the base so that it can be attached to a workbench or counter with screws that you supply.

I just measured my saw 3 1/2" max thickness. That's from the table to the bottom of the saw guard/motor housing.

drill a hole thru the post you will be using and thread the wire through the hole into the narrow end of the vise. You want about 1" showing. Push the vise into the outside part of the post hole and tap with a hammer to seat. Pull the wire to take up slack--vise grips work well for this. You end up with the vise grips on the outside of the posts.

The one we bought was a gift, however in the product description it says: The 3 - 1/8-inch / 79mm maximum jaw opening makes this Vise-Grip ideal for plumbers, mechanics, welders and others who work with large objects. Hope this is helpful.

3/8 will hold, but the mounting bolt holes are the clearance size for 7/16. 7/16 threads is the size that takes a 3/4 wrench.3/8 make mounting easier because it takes more time to line up 7/16 holes. I took the base off to drill the 7/16 holes using the base as a templet. To mount the vise, you will have to put the base back on the vise after using it as a templet. Also it is good to see how the rotation parts are different than standard. No tools are needed to remove the base; it is held on by the 2 rotation locking bars.

Thank you for your question!The dimensions of our G9913 Solid Maple Workbench Top is 48" Wide x 30" Deep x 1-34" Thick. We hope this information helps.

You bet! You'll want to avoid drilling through the metal frame the top sits on. I used a 5" vise to join together the lighted work bench and the 6" table you have to have a 10" work bench.

The is a right angle bracket that screws to a corner of the bench. You could replace the screws with flathead bolts. Not sure of the dimensions. You might get some insight by going on line and checking their parts list.

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.

With castors it comes to 37" in Height. If you add the bamboo work top, that will add another 1/4" so you will want 37.5" clearance under the workbench.I have 2 of these under the Gladiator GAWB06MTZG 6-Feet Adjustable Height Maple Work Bench - where you can set the height of the workbench to whatever suits you.

The bench top will be flush with the top of the legs. To mount a vise on top you'll need another plywood top several inches larger to accommodate space for for it.

Since presses are measured by swing distance, meaning what they can drill into the middle of, I have plenty of room with a 16 inch drill press. If you want to bolt down the vise, you will need six inches for the bolt pattern on this vise minimum, if put sideways, that means 3 inches on each side,I would say no less than a ten inch to take full advantage

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

It is at least 22mm it is really big I'm not sure exactly I usual end up using my bench vise and a large adjustable on the forcing screw. It is a really rugged kit. I was frocing a bearing in instead of out with a very long breaker bar and the nut on the forcing screw popped off the threads on the nut were stripped but the forcing screw didn't get damaged at all I was amazed very good kit. I welded the nut back on and still works great

I measured 13 1/4" on mine. I mounted mine at the end of my bench so the screw housing is completely in the open by lag bolting a 2" thick piece of hardwood on the bench to have more room to mount it. The benchtop already overhung the side of the bench by a few inches.
