    Default Those with a LV twin-screw vise.....

    G'mornin people

    I agonised over ordering this with the Great Clamp Order of 'ought five. I have an opportunity to get one over sans shipping costs. D'you think it is worth retro fitting to my bench, or would it be OTT? I often wish that I had a tail vice as the wonderdog is a bit fiddly. Comments apppreciated.

    You can never have too many clamps. Last week I was doing a bit of welding and found it easier and more comfortable to do it outside so I thought I'd use some bits of angle iron and a piece steel plate to cobble together a temporary welding table , all held together by clamps. Unfortunately I was two clamps short so I used a couple of pairs of multigrips. Anyway, you now know whats on the hardware shopping for next week.

    Yeah I think you could retrofit the Twin Screw and it would be worth it.

    If it is easy to retrofit go for it. If it is extremely difficult I would consider against.

    OTT?

    Nice bench TK BTW .
    Surely its not impossible to fit, and a bid wide end vice is a beautiful thing especially when its a twin screw.

    Is your bench made from Tas Oak and how much do you think it would weigh?

    Over The Top.

    Quater sawn TO, top weighs about 125kg. Just sits on the base (about the same at 100+kg) on 2 dowels. I can flip the top so I don't think that a retro fit is a prob?
