Has anybody drilled this thing to install a vise?

Not yet but I am planning to I see no problem the top is very heavy and solid

Yes, I have install a small vise and also an a reloading ram assy. JUST BE PRISSICE IN YOUR DRILLING.

I have not installed a vise, but I would not have any hesitation as long as the vise was being used for drilling, planing, etc. I would not use it for high torque uses such as bending strap steel, etc.

I haven't, but it appears to be solid hardwood so installing a vise shouldn't be a problem.

The first thing I did after assembling it. I put a 5" Craftsman vice on the front left corner. Its perfect and strong as an ox.

I think you just use four lag bolts to bolt it to the underside of your workbench. You may want to shim it so the top lip of the vice jaws are flush with the top surface of your bench

I do not see any reason why it would not work. I have used the unit itself as a vise while I drilled something out and it worked beautifully. Good luck.

Yes you can. I have a small machine vise I use with mine to insure that I am drilling 90 degrees a such. Works just fine you can adjust the head height to accommodate just about any vise.

I drill into metal miniatures with no trouble. I'd say yes although I have to admit I've never done it. The toughest part would probably be starting the hole to get some grip.

This is not meant for that, but I think you can do a few things like pinning the gas block with it. Most things you are going to want to use a bench vise for anyway.

Yes I use one and this vise works great!!just have to get it set up nice and square.

The easiest way is to use a bore hole jig, but it can be installed by just using the included paper template. You will need a 2 1/4" hole saw, 3/4" or 7/8" spade/auger bit and a sharp chisel. No other hardware is necessary.

3/8 will hold, but the mounting bolt holes are the clearance size for 7/16. 7/16 threads is the size that takes a 3/4 wrench.3/8 make mounting easier because it takes more time to line up 7/16 holes. I took the base off to drill the 7/16 holes using the base as a templet. To mount the vise, you will have to put the base back on the vise after using it as a templet. Also it is good to see how the rotation parts are different than standard. No tools are needed to remove the base; it is held on by the 2 rotation locking bars.

I mounted mine on a Craftsman saw and had to drill. I drilled the mount not the saw. Chances are you may have to drill.

I don't think this bench is made for a regular vise. Mostly for cutting and working on it.

The vise is designed for a bench top about 3 inches thick. I think 5 inches would be too thick unless you mortise it for the vise.

Assuming that you have a vise to hold the bead, I suppose this drill would be OK. By the way, the drill does not come with drill bits so you'll have to purchase those as well unless you already have them.

I believe that the vise would fit but I doubt that the workmate would be stable enough to put much torque on anything that is in the vice.

No need for a vise. Just be generous with the solution, placing it on the tape and inside and on the end of the grip. Then work quickly to slide the grip on. Once it's on you have some time to twist it back and forth to ensure it is straight. Getting the grip completely on the shaft is the important part.

Yes. I did with my drill. I had to buy the proper size hole saw. Very good instructions are included.

Sure, just get a masonary bit for your drill. May want to get mason screws as well. The screws they provide with these bars were on the cheap side anyway.
