royboy47 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 This works good for now. I'm adding a larger table. Also fetching ideas to keep it from moving. Anchoring the floor is not an option. I move it to our summer home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lary Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I'll be the first to suggest a piece of plate welded to the brake drum to step on when working on something in the vise. The other thing I was thinking about is wheels mounted to the opposite side of the crank handle, real close to the floor but not touching the floor until it's tipped. Then again, you might just continue to use the hand truck in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I agree with the plate mount. I would also remove the setup from the brake drum and attach it directly to the plate. Unless you are tall, the height of the jaws would be a bit high and uncomfortable to work on. Vises tend to be high enough for me as is, without raising it up even more. Then again, I’m shorter, and am very aware of this kind of thing. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
