General Notes
Important:
The position of the vise should be
determined before attempting to attach it to the
workbench. Doing so will not only help to determine the
length of the jaws, but also reveal any interference with bench
components. See
Rear Jaw Confi gurations
and
Jaw Size &
Placement.
•
A minimum thickness of 1
1
/

"
is recommended for the
workbench top to ensure there is sufficient material for
the mounting hardware provided with the vise.
•
Unwind the vise to separate the carriage from the vise front
assembly (lead screw, guide rods, and face plate). Clean the
vise of any surface grease and rust preventative.
•
Since installing the vise requires repeated insertion and
removal of the lead screw and guide rods, we suggest
that a handle be made and installed to the tee prior to
mounting the vise. Use a piece of 1

long dowel with end caps to prevent it from falling out
(or use 05G12.03, optional handle).
