INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

Although there are several ways to install your Milwaukee Quick Release Vise on your workbench, this manual provides a simple and effective method to secure your new vise to the bench for the proper clamping of materials. This method shows the use of a wood spacer block which would allow for the proper height of the vise jaws to be achieved in relation to the workbench surface. The spacer block would then be glued and screwed to the underside of the workbench top typically with 4 – #14 x 1-1/2” pan head wood screws. It is also helpful to pre-drill the lag screw holes in the spacer block as well. This method also shows the installation of wood jaw liners to the metal vise jaws which would be secured to each jaw with 2 – ¼-20 x ¾” machine screws and 4 –

10 x 5/8” wood screws as appropriate for the front and back jaw. The vise

unit is also attached to the workbench by using 2 – 3/8” diameter x 2-1/2” lag bolts & washers (longer if needed) through the back jaw casting to the underside of the workbench top. In addition, two flat head wood screws – #12 x 1-1/2” would also be inserted through the rear jaw of the vise and into the edge of the workbench top. As there is a good amount of force due the weight and usage of the vise, it is very important to secure both the bottom and side of the vise jaw into the benchtop as described. The cotter pin that holds the vise unit into position can be bent and then re bent back into position using a pair of needle nose pliers as necessary.
