An end vise is an incredibly useful tool around the workshop because it allows you to more easily grab onto larger pieces and in combination with bench dogs, can allow you to plane the larger pieces more easily.
In this episode we install the first end vise on our work bench and then recap some of the lessons learned which include:
1. Confirm the hardware you have on hand will fit your vise
2. Do a dry fit to measure how large your jaw should be
3. Work your way from the inside out to control tolerance stack up
This project was certainly not our finest but we learned a lot from it. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments section and we’ll make sure to answer it.
Until next time,
Josh

I found out that you have to go “Oversized” on the center screw hole!!!
He’s right on Hardware! I ended up using some Stainless #12 1-1/4” fasteners for the front of the vise and some #14 1-1/2” on the bottom side mount. The two D shaped mounts I used #14 1” Stainless screws. The only reason I used stainless is like the channel owner..it’s the only thing I had on hand that would work. ShopFox needs to do a lot better job with the suggestions.
why not cut the bottom out of big hole that was not square, so any wood chips when working could just fall out
I cannot take anyone who wears flip-flops while working with tools seriously...
