You have already made all the parts for the vise support assembly. Now, begin the vise installation by positioning the vise on its support at the location shown on the elevation drawings. Next, use the vise as a template to mark mounting holes on the support. Predrill these holes (see the manufacturer’s instructions), and then install the cleat subassembly you made earlier with screws (see the section view on page 10). You can now begin to mount the vise to the bench.

Again using the vise as a template, gently wind in the jaw until the two guide rods just touch the leg rail. Mark the rod locations, as well as the locations of the screw holes in the guide rod bushings that come with the vise, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: The vise attaches to both the endcap and vise support. With two screws holding the unit in place, establish the locations for the guide rod and center screw holes in the legs.

Remove the vise and platform, and use a Forstner bit to drill slightly oversize holes in the leg’s rail assembly for the rods and screw to pass through. You may want to remove the legs and perform this step on your drill press to ensure truly vertical bores. Then, screw the bushings in place.
