Does this make better sense?

Appears they do Nowegian anyway ..

Now why didn't I see this first time ?  :scratch:  Should have got the dog to do it ... more reliable.

Trion:
Thanks, I'll look into that when the founds are back to normal again.

Speaking of founds, I figured it was about time to make some poor mans T-slot studs. I found a suiting piece of steel from the shelf, and put it in the saw


Cut of two even pieces of flat steel, aswell as to pieces of M14 threaded bar


Drilled holes into the plates


And dug out my tig welder, to try welding some steel :dremel:


And on the other side


After a bit of snow-hardening ::)


And ready for use


So now the vise is finally fastened to the table :D


But only by two bolts, as none of the other fixation points fit the slots. I also had to have the vise hanging over the table like that, to be able to clamp something in it and not have the table wound out all the way on the Y-axis.

IF you want the vice more central in Y, you may find you can slide the head back a little on its ram? (and equally out again for wider workpieces)  - at least I think that's a slide I can see hiding under the bride's veil  ::)

Darren:
That's a big vice  :)

Davo J:
Hi,
I have been following this thread from the beginning, keep up the good work.
With the vise you could put some hold downs at the head of the vice, in the first T slot closest to the column, it would help with the weight of the overhang on the other end.
