Will the table crank easily lift a ~35 lb vise? I use a Jet 20" which struggles to lift a heavy vise.

I haven't tried doing that, but I will say that the table crank is very smooth and feels heavy-duty enough to lift a 35 pound vise.

We use it for production paint and coating mixing. Put 40 lb pails on it. Have not heard any complaints from workers about cranking.

Yes, very stable. I use it with a large vise and a normal sized drill press while working on my motorcycle engines on it.

Depending on the size of the part that is being held, It can be used as a light duty vise. Otherwise I do not believe it will work like a standard vise.

No. The four legs stand and are secured into the top independently. I have a table-mounted vise and it was no problem.

I have tested the table to up to 200lbs and it handles it without any issues!

I agree with other reviewers. This Workmate is not intended as a mount for a vise. To a degree, the Workmate is a vise in its own right, and that is about as far as I would go with it. If you want to use a vise, whether metal or wood working, mount it to a proper bench.

Hi Pamela, I put the table on a scale and it read "30.0" lbs. I use the bend of one set of legs to carry it (like a handle). My wife and I love this table. I dont think I can find a negative comment about it. If it was much lighter it would be unstable. Hope this helps. Jeff

No this is a very sturdy table. It is balanced well, it is easy to move and it lifts well. I have clients that are over 300lbs and it has no problem.

I have a 15 foot all welded aluminum boat which is quite heavy. My MK Endura Max 55 pushes it with no problem at a fairly decent rate of speed. We also have weeds in our lakes and deals with that issue quite well by occasionally cleaning the prop. I don't expect you will have anything to worry about in your situation as it has a variable speed control.

I'm not real sure what you are asking. I am using a recurve bow with a 25 pound pull with 28 inch arrow. I am not very strong either and having no trouble with the 25 pound pull. I hope this helps you.

This hammer is relatively easy to maneuver coming in at around 35 LBS with out the tips. Significantly lighter that my other makita hammers.

I haven't tested it to that extent, but have hoisted a 60lb Kyak and a 70lb tree stand with it no problem so I think it would be sufficent. May want to double it just in case.

I do think it's stable and sturdy enough for this kind of work. That said, I wonder how you are going to clasp the board to the surface, the vise being too weak and flimsy, per my review of the product. Somehow I doubt you can rely on the bench dogs and the vise.

Yea the actual wood table top is 1" thick there should be no problems mounting a vise to it.

It would depend on the quality of the welds in your particular stand. But I wouldn't rely on it because the table is very likely to sink where the raised edge is so whatever your 20# or more consists of is going to hit the deck. Unless your balancing skills are very good. And nothing disturbs the stand.

I have both the side and outfeed support on my saw all the time and I find them invaluable. There has never been an issue with the table warping or flexing. My side support does sag noticeably as you extend it from the table even when there is no load on it (must be the angle). If you adjust it for extended height it will be higher than the table as you push it in. What I do take a narrow board 2" wide and 20" long and clamp it to the inside of the side shelf support above the 2 rods. Pull the extension out to the distance desired. Set a level reaching from the table to the side support. Adjust the clamping of the board so that it is even with the table top across its entire length. Keep in mind that you can't hang a lot of weight on this. The outfeed support is sturdier and I have had no real trouble with the sagging. Again it isn't sized to support ripping long boards. I build a 36" outfeed table for my DeWalt that attaches to the outfeed bracket easily handles 8 foot boards. If you have the room to leave your saw set up on the stand, take a look at item 92051 on Rockler.com to make your saw mobile.

I'm afraid your vise is simply too large for this cross slide table. It is a micro table and is small. I use a 3' drill press vise that weighs about 4 lbs. and it is even a little big on it. I would advise you to find a larger table for a vise that's over 12 lbs.
