Will this hold a nice steel vice? Can i bolt it to the top without any trouble? Would it rip out?

I don't have a steel vise on mine, but the table seems like it should have no issues holding it. If you're concerned about it tearing, I would glue an extra board under the tabletop to support the vise bolts. The table itself is not very large though.

The weight is negligable, depanding on what else u have mounted to your fore-end. It will rattle a bit if you dont get it secured after collapsing it.

yes it would support that much weight ,,,, the mounting screws will not . if affixing to wood suggest 2" long screws . in steel structure use bolts, washer nuts ,,,,,, the mounting bracket holes can be enlarged to 1/4 " . hope this is helpful

If the vice is securely mounted it can apply excellent pressure and I am sure it will work for you

I would have to say no. It will probably rip the tie down that holds it to the frame

It would hold the vise fine but I would not advise adding additional weight in work and then working. There is not enough weight in the base for stability with all the weight high.

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....

No it won't! It is very strong And durable.. You have nothing to loose.......

Depending on where you plan on fastening it, you could furnish some sort of clamp. But like the others said, it is does have some weight and may not hold up to well.

Mine is holding a 180lb Sharp 80". No issues at all and no bending or bowing. You'll be fine

I would guess that it would hold that...my first one arrived un-assembled, and one of the chains didn't have a clip, so I couldn't put it together...after my bad review I was sent another one, but have not used it as I had already come up with an alternative that I preferred by the time it got here...it also seemed like it had come straight from China, which made me a little weary, but I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that :P :)

I have used this for > 1 yr and have not had problems with quality when securing metal (iron and nonferrous). Ratchet mechanism is a little tight as you get toward full extension. Vice has survived a few drop tests.

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

I have it holding a 55inch plasma that probably weighs about that and it feels totally secure. It does come with extra hardware so I actually secured it with 6 bolts into studs instead of the normal 4, but that was overkill. You could really hold a ton with this mount, it is very sturdy.

I have about 30 lbs on it with just the velrco sticking on. I never installed the top screw. Didn't want to mess with the drilling. I am sure it will hold more just haven't tested it that far yet. I have had it on for over 6 months now. Hope it helps.

It's a cast metal & I imagine it would hold up to 10lbs or more & I believe it was rated for 20lbs but don't hold me to that figure.It will not hold a Human & will snap right off and possibly injure someone! If you need to carry more than that I would get on that has axle mount support rods!

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.
