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 1 for
the minimum working clearances.
Workbench Load
Although the D4093 Multipurpose Vise weighs only 22 lbs.,
some workbenches may require additional reinforcement
to support the vise, workpiece, and any hammering or
prying forces that may be applied to them.

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.
4. Check the stability of the mounted vise to make sure
it can be used safely.

setup.

setup.
