What type of screw/bolt are people using to secure the vise to their tables?

I used c-clamps, so it could be used on a temporary basis. Less clutter on my bench...

I used 7/16" hex head bolts through my work bench. Make sure your bench is attached to the wall and floor or it will move when you try to remove a barrel.

Whichever fit securely. Make sure the table is strong enough to withstand the torque of changing barrels.

I believe it was just a screw driver, but be careful not to tighten up to much because it'll come out the table.

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.

5mm for the clamp on the post; 6mm for the screws that clamp on the table. However, mine shipped with both hex wrenches.

Its a standard 1/4"-20tpi screw you'd find in most tripods. Theres also a hole below the cage to mount a tripod plate into it.

I have had this vise for so long that I do not remember. I currently have nothing in writing. I do know that the bolt tops are showing in the counterbored holes in the top of my workbench. I don't like that, but, I have nothing to cover the holes and it seems to be a small price to pay for this great vise. I suppose that I would have the same problem installing any woodworking vise.I have checked the Wilton website for you. They offer nothing in the way of instructions. I believe that they think that installation is intuitive.

That type of bit screw driver should be available at most hardware stores but you probably will end up buying one with bits. Good to have extra anyhow!

Yes its a small screw with a flat top that you screw up to clamp the table. My table is the same way.

The threaded attachment for wood is 1". The Toggle bolt is 2 1/2". One can buy the double ended threaded ends (one end machine thread, the other wood screw) in different lengths at most "comprehensive" hardware stores such as Ace, Tru-Value, Lowe's, Home Depot. They're in the little drawers of specialty items, but the ones included are quite adequate unless the "wood" is under a LOT of drywall or dead space, etc.

It depends on the surface you are attaching the vise to: to a two inch thick bench top, use 1 3/4" lag screws; to a thinner surface, use drill holes that match those in the base of the vise and use 1 3/4" 5/16" bolts with appropriate washers and nuts.

You can use rivets, but I used screw posts (also called sex bolts or binding posts) and screwed from the inside out. Put some locktite on the threads.

I believe it's a standard Allen screw which should be available at your local Ace hardware,Lowes or Home Depot. Take the towel holder with you, they can help you buy the correct Allen wrench if you don't have one. The one I bought came with the wrench. Good luck

1/2", #14, #10 crecent wrenches & a medium Phillips head screwdriver. Adjustable wrenches or channel locks will work just fine. Assembly is pretty simple, don't waste money on more expensive, "fancier" tables... This product is excellent.

Allen wrench. They come in a couple of different sizes, just walk into any tool store or walmart and inquire. You should find one at low cost quite easily. I tend to keep all the tools and extra screws and whatnot after constructing any furniture in a little tackle/tool box for just this kind of occasion.

The biggest that will fit in the holes... I used 1/2-13 with locking nuts and 2x2x.25" backing plates. Good vise!

Hi they are fast thread wood screws with a hex (allen) head. Hope this helps

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
