Placement Location
Consider the existing and anticipated needs, the size of
the material to be held in the vise, and the space for
auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when
establishing a location for your new vise. See Figure 2 for
the minimum working clearances.
Workbench Load
The D4074 Multipurpose Vise weighs 44 lbs. Some
workbenches may require additional reinforcement to
support both the vise, the workpiece, and any hammering
or prying forces that may be applied to each.

Mounting
The multipurpose vise must be mounted to a workbench
to avoid accidental tipping. If you intend to use the vise
for portable applications, mount it to a heavy metal or
plywood base (at least 1" thick) that is wide enough to
prevent tipping or rocking during use, then clamp the
base to a workbench or table.

To mount the multipurpose vise, do these steps:
1. Place the vise in its chosen location, making sure
that all four corners of the vise sit flat on the
mounting surface.
2. Transfer the mounting pattern directly from the
vice to the workbench by marking through the vice
mounting holes.
3. Attach the vise to the workbench using one of the
methods outlined below.
Note: DO NOT overtighten the mounting bolts or you
may crack the vise base.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount"
(Figure 3) where holes are drilled all the way
through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and
hex nuts are used to secure the vise to the workbench.
Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount"
(Figure 4) where the vise is simply secured to the
workbench with a lag screw.

it can be used safely.
Operations
To maximize the life of your vise, follow this advice:
• Do not use cheater pipes on the handles or hammer
the levers to increase tightening force.
• Do not heat or weld on the vise.
• Do not store the vise in wet or damp locations.
• Only use the anvil for light tapping and workpiece
shaping. Do not use large hammers and avoid
hammering directly on the jaws.
-2-
• Do not pry on clamped materials in
such a way that may bend or break
the vise.
• When loosening the jaws, make sure
your hands will not hit the workpiece,
workbench or vise when the handle
breaks free.
• Every few years, disassemble, clean,
and lubricate the vise using lithium
grease. Otherwise, lubricate as
necessary.
