After the April club meeting where I saw how useful a leg vise on a work bench is, I decided to build one for my work bench. My best source of ideas and information is YouTube so I logged on and found a number of different designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type I chose uses the screw and base-plate from a scaffold jack for the mechanism to generate pressure against the table top. The scaffold lift acme thread screw was 24″ long. I cut the plate off to use as the vise chop keeper plate. I cut the screw down to 19″ overall. About 6″ of the length is used in the hub, thru the vice chop and the work bench leg. This leaves 13″ of usable opening for the vise. Both the existing vises on the table have an opening of about 7″. One of vises is on the opposite end and side, the other is on the end of the work table but is on the opposite corner from the leg vise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
