Installing a New Shop Vise
Вставка

- In this video I am installing a new vise in my shop. My wife got this Yost vise with 6 inch jaws for me as a Christmas present. I am installing it so it overhangs the bench, with a metal leg as extra vertical support.

You have a great wife who loves you a lot :)
Excellent. Thanks for your time and effort.
Funny. At first I thought that a ‘vise user’ doesn’t need a video to install it. Now I wonder why my vise doesn’t have a plank to position it better. Thanks for the entertaining and apparently useful video :-)
I would have put another flange on the other end of the pipe in order to spread the load out over a bigger area.
Very cool and practical video.
Just got a new vise thanks for the idea.
Nice of her to get that for you ... broke my vise recently ... checking things out. Been thinking of putting it out on a plank like that.... Think I'll go with 1/2 inch or 5/8 bolts though ..Thanks.
nice install! i wish them yost vises were available here in the UK
I have a Blacksmith shop ( in.my shed , small) not spending money on a post vice I knew to hang over my vice but your advice of the post I will copy So I do Thank you and always like your videos.
Really do wanna see more videos! Also your workshop seems really well lit can we have a tour? :)
Hey boss suggest you put bolts through bench instead of flimsy screws. Plus bolt bench to wall properly to stop any movement. Another suggestion clean on face of bench and fasten a length of angle, you may have to rout to the depth of angle iron and fasten with metalthread counter sunk screws . Hope the ideas help.

How are you liking this Yost vice? and if you don't ming what is the length of this vice?
Here in India, we dont have even a good choice of vises to purchase in the shops. Very non-mechanical. I am planning to get a Yost shipped from US.
Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! But I drifted..
And got plowed!
I would have installed the smaller vise, on your center table.
Nice Vice setup. might have to copy that idea with the metal leg.
What Anvil is that in the background? Harbor Freight?
Thanks. Yes, it is a harbor freight anvil.
What’s the advantage of this over mounting it straight to the bench?
Thanks for watching and your question. With the vise out over the edge of the table like this I am able to get to all sides of it a bit easier. I can also clamp things into it that then can hang straight down. If it were directly to the table it would be more limiting to what I would be able to hold. Thanks again.
What’s the size of the bolts please? Thanks
Man watching your video this 2021, more than 4 years. How's your vice today.
It has been great! My wife got it for me for a Christmas present and it’s done everything that I’ve wanted it to, as well as being a huge upgrade over my last vise. Thanks
The art of spelling A new VISE, vices are what you use after work....
We know... good catch.
What’s that leg support thing called that you put under the vise? Thanks for the video!
The leg support was a 1” piece of black pipe threaded into a flange which was screwed into the board. (I think you were asking about the flange.)
The Art of Craftsmanship yup! Do the pipes come threaded? I’m trying to do the same for my bench vise
EDWIN617 they do, usually on both ends. I think I got a 3-4 foot piece and cut the floor end to length.
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship got it. Thank you!
What do you call that support under the plank?
Alvin Arquines
The support is made out of a flange threaded into a piece of black pipe. It’s my vice support post.
The Art of Craftsmanship Thank you, great idea!
You need a post vise
Dude!!! You need to have Sadie do a project with you.
What model is that, I like the hang over of the stationary jaw?
Dan Pendergrass
Thanks for watching. It’s a Yost 465.
Many thanks for your vice advice. I'm just wondering why so many are mounted on the LEFT side of the bench ??? Are most workshop folks left-handed ? Anything to do with political persuasion ? Surely it's neither of these. Is it more practical in some way on the left ? Mine is lmounted at the RIGHT hand corner of the bench, and has a swivel base like yours, which make it quite veratile..
That's a good question Brian. We try to answer it on the new 5 Questions video coming out soon. Thanks!
If she really loved you, she'd buy you a Sawstop and toss your current one.
The force pressure on these vises are soft and brittle not a logic choice.....
No drill press, no proper pipe cutter, bunch of screws instead of bolts. Hold the board to the bench same way you held the vise to the board.
