How much depth is required to mount this vise in the closed position? The reviews say that you need about 9 in. of width but nothing about depth.

7 1/4" minimum in width. 13" minimum depth. I just went down and measured my vice. I love the vice. You need to mount it near the front edge of your bench to get the best use out of it. Left or right side, your choice. I also put 1x6x12" oak facing in the vice and it works great.

From the edge of my workbench the vise has a depth of about 7 inches. I have fitted wooden faces to the jaw edges that measure about 2.5 inches, with one of the faces drilled to allow the use of bench dogs. You may well choose to have thiner faces, so it would be quite possible to have a depth of 6 inches, give or take 1/2 an inch. However, I would not recommend using the vise on wood without using wood faces. With the additional wooden faces the rods then extend about 12 inches under the bench for mounting, perhaps a little shorter than the other answers.

You need a minimum of 13 inches from back of the back plate to end of under rods.

Need roughly 13" in the clear from where the vise butts into your table / top. I have one recommendation of spending the extra money and getting the next size up and getting the 10" model - for the 10" model you need over 16" in the clear for mounting. Hope this helps.

Mounting a small vise would be okay. Not sure if it would be solid enough. There could be some side to side . Clamping flat to the surface would be better. This is the best table I have found that is as portable. Hope this helps

Mine sticks out 9". You can mount it further out, but it will stick out slightly when shut.

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

I used some old salvaged doors, so I had plenty of depth. The thickness of the door depends on how much room you have in order to close it and clear any door frame or shelves inside the space. Also, even though it comes with screws and everything you need to install, you will still need at least an inch so you can securely attach the plastic rails. Hope this helps.

from the closed position to a width of no more then 3-4 inches (for safety)

13 Inches if jaws are closed metal to metal. I have put a piece of 3/4 plywood and a piece of leather on each jaw face to protect my work piece. That reduces the 13 inches to 11 1/2 fully closed with no work piece in the vise.

So, thats exactly what I ordered this for, and the thickness or depth is 0.1393701 of an inch, this is using a digital caliper. You will need a bit thicker, or layer up a bit. Basically .14 ''depth, by 1/4'' width by 60 ''. hope that helps

Around 3-4" opening width and 1" jaw depth.....its a fairly small but handy little drill press vise, great for clamping small things that need holes drilled into.

The depth distance between screws is 9 inches, however the total depth when the keyboard is closed is almost 17 inches. I have mine mounted under 24 inch workspace.

Well that depends on how thick the workbench is and how thick the jaw material is. In my case I have 1.5" thick workbench sides and I have 1.5" (2 pieces of 3/4" plywood glued together) at the handle and 1 piece of 3/4" plywood as a vise jaw at the bench side. So I get a good 8" or so before the main screw comes away from the remaining part of the vise which is attached directly behind the side of the bench.

I purchased one of these safes in July and installed it. No issue with depth. Can't be 7" unless they measure total depth. It works like a charm and my wife loves it!

Remember, this is a corner unit. The depth is 20" for most of the length. The back corners are beveled so it is only 9" deep at each end. i have it set into a normal 90 degree corner holding a 55" flat screen which is 48" wide and it looks custom built.

I checked and it is about 16" when it is closed. If you have only 9 1/2 inches, it may not close all the way.

Hey Bob. The Wilton vise will sit flush with tops up to 3 inches thick. Mine is 2 1/4" so it required a 3/4" shim between the top and the vise. This vise is expensive but worth every penny. It works flawlessly and the quick release feature is the best I've seen. You will have to make some jaw liners but you are a woodworker after all. Piece of cake.

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.
