Alternate vise mounting position

[royce]

I have made a couple vise stands that rotated that proved to be very useful.
This bench has a t-slot in it, that allowed this vise to be mounted vertically.
It works like a offset vise or a vise to hold plates and bars horizontal.
I find I use it to hold stock horizontal a lot, it is handier and quicker than c-clamping to the bench.
Works slick

Nice, seems like a more versatile mount than on top.

Nice idea.

Planer table? How big?

Interesting concept. Did you get lucky enough that when the screw is vertical (second picture) that the fixed jaw is planer with the table top? I could see where that may advantageous at times.

Now if I could just find a planer table or a gang drill table.

no neat sig line

Thanks Larry,
That is a parker vise with a brake shoe style swivel lock, so it can be locked parallel with the bench top.

Great idea. I can see many uses in that position and having a larger work area.
