Tip:

 Leave a bit of material on the top and front 

of the jaw, then plane it fl ush with the apron and 

workbench top after fi nal assembly. 

Attach the jaw to the mechanism using the

Preparing the Underside of the 
Workbench Top

Tip:

 Flip the workbench upside down to make it 

easier to install the vise.

Note:

 The mounting plate location shown in 

Figures 4 

and 

5

 leaves the front plate proud of the end of the 

bench. This location prevents the creation of a pinch 
point between the top of the plate and the bottom of 
the bench. If mounting the vise differently, be sure to 
consider where to leave clearance, or remove material, 
to avoid creating a pinch point.

The vise mounting plate must be accurately positioned 
onto the underside of the workbench top. Extreme care 
must be taken at this step, as there is very little room 
for error. 

Locate the mounting plate on the bottom of the bench, 
as shown in 

Figure 4

. The large corner chamfer on the 

plate should be adjacent to the outer corner of the bench. 
The front edge of the plate should be set back from the 
front edge of the bench by

"

. Be sure the front edge 

of the plate is parallel to the front edge of the bench. 
Carefully transfer the six mounting screw locations. 

Tip:

 Use a transfer punch or a hinge center 

punch to locate and mark screw centers onto the 

underside of the workbench top.

Note:

 This position for the plate will result in a

/

clearance gap between the jaw and the bench top to 
accommodate any slight misalignment, as well as any 
seasonal wood expansion.

Note:

 For left-hand installation, fl ip the plate over so 

the large corner chamfer is adjacent to the outer corner 
of the bench.
