I am considering using this as a ski tuning bench. Can I attache the vices to this table? has anyone used it as a ski tuning table? Thoughts?

Mounting a small vise would be okay. Not sure if it would be solid enough. There could be some side to side . Clamping flat to the surface would be better. This is the best table I have found that is as portable. Hope this helps

A vise can be attached, but you will probably want to add a block between the table surfaces for re-inforcement. I use mine practically every day as support for my router table and while working on cabinet doors and such. Never had a problem with stability. A web strap between the leg cross braces and the top really makes it rigid.

Sure why not. You could screw them to the side with a mdf board, or clamp the vises. Either way more than one way to do it.

You probably can using vises. There are some pre-drilled holes in one side. It is very sturdy and can stand 300lbs. SG

i am a wood carver. i was not able to fasten my multi vice because of the thickness of the table. i actually screwed a board tot he edge so i could attach devices. i like the table, the highth is good for sitting on my carving stool but it is a little thick.

Can definitely be used for a ski pole. Just loosen up the two screws but they aren't rubber

Didn't use this after all as I switched to Pirelli straps. Metal parts are available for attaching, however, if you use wood furniture. I had considered using rivets. I am not sure this will help.

I love this vice. However I use it as a soldering station, and I wouldn't use it for anything that absorbs impact. I would expect that big ball socket to loosen up after a couple if blows.

No, bench dogs are meant to be used in the round holes (at least in this case) you will see in many bench tops. Typically, there is a vise mounted on the end of the bench which is tightened (a proper vise for this purpose has either a tab or an elevated board extending slightly above the bench surface) in order to hold items while they are being worked on. The PRS1040 is a router table, meant for other things.

i think is posible, i dont know the ski pole diameter but you can use some plastic material too attach it properly just in case...

Yes... First you have to set the correct depth of your screw holes with your drill bit, for the depth of the base of your skis. Then mount the bindings.

Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think). I made a base for the Steel City planer out of 3/4" plywood and put two 3/4" runners under it which exactly match the miter slots in the table saw top. I then just place the planer on top of the saw (in it's low position) and the runners and weight of the planer hold it very stable. I like this combo, since I'm able to remove and stow it when not in use (I have s small shop!). I saw the other comment and it appears mine was not the first to be used this way! I run 6' and 8' boards through without issue. Bill Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think).

No, but I have only used it a couple of times, I am assuming you have an inverted table mount with bit up. If that is the case you should be able to attach the base to the table with mounting screws and adjust the heigt using the allen they gave in the box.

I think you just use four lag bolts to bolt it to the underside of your workbench. You may want to shim it so the top lip of the vice jaws are flush with the top surface of your bench

My answer would be "no." After a year of use as a bench in my powder room, the stitching on the top came apart as there was absolutely no excess fabic at the seams. There is no way to repair it, so I;ve covered it and am shopping for a new bench--if you find one, let me know!

A table top would be too high, not angled correctly, and doesn't leave you the ability to work the foot pedals. I would definitely recommend using it on typical snare drum stand. I would also recommend a drum throne, stick holders, and a music stand. The stand could be a stand-alone or wall mounted. I use a Manhasset 5601 Model #56 Wall Music Stand. At some point you're going to want to swap out the pedals that come with it for something like the Yamaha HH-65 Hi-Hat pedal and a bass pedal, both of which would be near impossible to use if the DD65 was on a table.

I think you could actually make some, I have been thinking about it myself. I was on the total gym website and I like the new handles they have as well. I also like the foot bar they have which is taller than the thing that comes with the total body works. I showed it to my husband and he is going to make me a similar one, seems pretty simple if you can weld or bend metal tubing. It would be nice if they offer accessories like that, but I think for now it would be pretty easy to make your own.

nice little vise!!! its on my welding table and I use it all the time instead of the big 8 inch vise.. drilled two holes and that was sufficent to hold it secure....well worth the money...mine is bolted to a 3/8 steel table top....

It's use on a table top is very practical when a couple of factors are considered. Its position and alignment are important. When it is level to the chest and shoulder area it allows for an even rotation in the pedal movement, thus no wobbling. Another consideration is the surface area used. Some table tops might require a rubberized mesh mat for stability, such as the ones used for tools or drawer linings. Good luck and happy peddling!

I actually do dips using mine. Just set my Olympic bar across the stand and do my dips over the bar. I have had no issues regarding it. I am a lighter individual so if you may have a different experience depending on your height/weight.
