I have a workbench vise that I've been installing on various workbenches I've owned. Now I'm going to install it on the worktable I have in my hobby woodworking shop. This worktable is made of metal profiles, so I have to mark the position where the rod guides and the screw will go and drill the holes. To drill the holes in the metal, I use a cobalt drill bit, a step drill bit, and a 15.5mm metal drill bit. I also use a conical reamer drill bit to adjust the size of the holes and remove any metal burrs. I also installed the plate with the nut that holds the guide rods and the screw. A task that seemed very simple, but we'll see that it gave me some problems.
See how I attached the acrylic base to my jigsaw:
- With the bearing support on the side: youtu.be/yp0CRFANYGc
- With the bearing support on the back: youtu.be/juGUMBuEAAw
And how I adapted the workbench to hold the jigsaw as a table jigsaw:
