To accommodate the Clamp Vise Plate, your workbench top must be at least
1" [25mm] thick and not more than 2" [51mm] thick. Wood bench tops more
than 2" [51mm] thick can be rabbeted with a router to reduce the thickness in
the plate-mounting area. To withstand clamping pressure, wood bench tops
should be of solid construction. The edges of metal tops should be reinforced
with a steel angle or a hardwood block.
Remove the clamp from the plastic hanger card and the plastic tie from the
clamp handle.
Adjust the anchor screw on each clamp with a

[8mm] between the clamp base and the bottom of the screw head. Test-fit the
clamp in the Clamp Vise Plate T-slot. Adjust the screw so the clamp is snug in
the T-slot but still slides easily.
To increase clamp pressure, turn the knurled-head screw to the left (viewed
form the handle-end of the clamp); for less pressure, turn the screw to the right.

Bench Dogs
Bench dogs fit ¾" holes and work
in combination with the Clamp Vise
to hold workpieces horizontally on
your work bench. If your work bench
does not have ¾" dog holes, drill a
double row of holes perpendicular to
the edge on which the Clamp Vise
is mounted, spacing the holes 3"
[76mm] apart.
Slide the Bench Clamp into the upper
T-slot in the Clamp Vise Plate. This
positions the center of the clamp pad
above the surface of the work bench
were it can push against the edge
of the workpiece. Drop the Bench
Dogs into dog holes that position the
workpiece with one edge protruding
beyond the face of the Clamp Vise
Plate. Activate the clamp, securing
the workpiece between the clamp
pad and the Bench Dogs.

Clamp Blocks
Clamp Blocks mount in the Clamp Vise Plate T-slots to support the bottom
edge of a workpiece. Each Block is marked with four dimensions: 1½" and 3"
[38mm and 76mm] on one side and 2" and 2½" [51mm and 64mm] on the other
side. When the Clamp Blocks are mounted in the same T-slot as the Bench
Clamp, these dimensions indicate the distance from the top edges of the blocks
to the center of the clamp pad.
To use this feature, orient each Clamp Block with the desired dimension facing
out and up. Insert a T-slot bolt through the hole in the T-slot alignment tab on the
back of the Block. Thread on a knurled nut. Slide the Clamp Blocks into the same
T-slot as the Bench Clamp and tighten the nut. The Clamp Vise also can be used
without the Clamp Blocks.
