MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mount the vise to the work surface in the desired location by securing all mounting flanges
located on the base.
For added strength to the workbench before installing and securing the vise, place an 18” x 18” x
2” piece of wood (18” x 18” x ¼” metal plate) to the underneath side.
Mark and drill holes through the workbench and wood/metal plate using the swivel base as the
template for the mounting holes. Before drilling, make sure the area is free & clear of any
hazards.
Use Four 7/16" diameter bolts, 2 inches longer than the bench top thickness, flat washers, and
nuts.
MOUNTING DIMENSIONS
NOT TO SCALE
Forward suggests the following optimal configuration: Firstly, insert the appropriate length and
diameter bolts, accompanied by a flat washer, into the vise's swivel base. The bolt should extend at
least 2" beyond the underside of both the workbench and the wood/metal plate. Then, on the
underside of these, attach a flat washer, lock washer, and locking nut to the bolt. Finally, ensure the
vise is firmly fastened to the workbench. Remember to periodically recheck and tighten the nuts for
maximum security.
