The next step is to mount the Vise Screw
into the Jaw. This is the final step to
completing your new Tail Vise!
Before you install the Vise Screw, you
must mark, drill, and tap mounting
holes for the flange.
Insert the Vise Screw (Part #5) into the
Jaw hole and through the Slide Assembly
standoffs, until the flange is flush with
the Jaw.
Position the flange at an angle for the
mounting holes. Use a 5/16" transfer
punch to mark the centers of the holes.
Remove the Vise Screw. Drill the holes
1-½" deep with a size F drill bit, then
thread them with a 5/16 – 18 tap.
Now you are ready to install the Vise
Screw. Start by aligning the opening on
the bottom of the Jaw with the standoffs
on the Slide Assembly. Slide the Acme
Nut (Part #6) into the opening and in
between the standoffs.
Now thread the Vise Screw through the
Acme Nut until the Vise is closed.
Install each of the flange screws
(Part #10) with a 3/16" hex driver.
