what it does, it keeps me from bolting my vice up here, on top of my work bench, or my bench grinder, or things like that that would normally bolt to your work bench. Right. This allows me to keep them off of that, and I'll show you how. Oh, what the heck? So my question is, is like, how thick does your bench need to be to be able to mount it to the bottom of your bench? Well, it's probably going to have to be a little half to your than what you would have if you were just mounted on top, but not much.
