Bench vise stand
Nate:
So i got a 5" bench vise and grinder from my grandfather, and i am trying to figure out how to mount the bench vise.
So the grinder i think i am going to mount on this stand?

Or if i should mount it to the table?
What are the thoughts from you all........

Nate, a 5 gal. bucket some cement concrete and a 4X6 makes a nice stand for vices and grinders.

Grinder stand looks nice, best mount I had was one with a 4” sq tube coming up from a steel truck wheel and a pice of 6” channel at the top. I like the grinder mounted to a wheel as it’s easy to roll whenever you need if/when you move it.
As far as vice I think table mounted is best, mine gets beat on a lot. A post in a bucket of Crete wouldn’t last long for me but to each his own.

Vise needs a bench for leverage, especially when Donkey Kong is pulling on something tightened down in said vise.

Although I don’t own a shop like Ken or Shawn, I agree that a vice needs to be bench mounted. I’m a little fellar, but leverage is a mans best friend which will probably tip a small base when you have a two foot or bigger cheater bar on something, you need more then that on the other end to keep it some what firmly planted. And that is a good size vise, which can handle bigger projects, and heavier beatings.
