<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 338733, member: 54"]Progress: Mounted a nice Wilton 1780 vise on the bench. This is an 8” (jaw width) vise weighing about 100 lbs. I got it years ago at a Militaria show for $100. As I recall, in unused condition. New they are $800. I used grade 5 capscrews that were a bit too long so I used spacers over the nuts. I made a circular plate for underneath so the vise would be very securely fastened, and I was able to tighten the nuts very tight without damaging the wood noticeably.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]113718[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113719[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113720[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
