Sac Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 My plan is to mortise the back jaw of the vise into the bench. I already made a template. I plan on making a jaw for the clamping face(Not picture). I am not sure where or how many dog holes I should put.. Input would be great. Thanks Dont forget to vote... Edit: I would drill a new dog hole on the jaws that I would make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlawyer Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Somewhere between B & C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpLev Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I vote A, basing my vote on the fact that the vise will have a middle dog, in which case I wouldn't want it to be too deep into the bench, esp. for narrower parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyami Plotke Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I voted B. It's close enough to the end without being too close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I guess the main question is how wide can you make the outside jaw and still get mostly even pressure? I'd figure that out, and move it back to the edge just a bit and mount it. Here is an idea for you:This might not work, but take a peice of large solder, like what you use to sweat copper with, it should be soft enough to pinch or flatten out with enough pressure. Make a temp jaw pad thats "x" long. Start at the end and try to flatten the solder. Work your way to the center, and find the sweet spot. That should give you an idea on how wide you can make the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renzo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yeah I'm going with E A recent episode of Woodsmith on PBS just built a bench and mounted the vise the same way. They ended up having the rear vise jaw mounted behind the piece of workbench, so the bench itself acted as the rear jaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpLev Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 you can always forgo the whole 'vise' concept, and just have a friend hold the workpieces for you while you're planing/cutting them. just my $0.03 (on sale today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
