Hear me out.
I have a bench that is outside as i like to work outdoors in the summer months while it is nice. I am wanting to attach a carpenters flush style mount to it and then make wooden T bases for thing like my bench grinder, buffer/polisher etc so i can just set them down into the vise, clamp them down and start using the tool and then quickly be able to remove it all and put it away when done.
I am after a carpenters style vise that mounts under the bench and one that can have the whole sliding piece removed. That way i can unscrew and pull out the business end of the vice and store it indoors when not in use and the whole thing wont rust up or get weathered all to hell right away. I am curious to know if they make a quick release version that would work so i can just pull the quick release ....slide the whole thing out and done. My guess is no since the quick release mech/handles etc seem to be built into the moving part of the jaw.
Right now i picked up up Pony Jorgenson non quick release 9 inch model that just has a small roll pin in the end of the main drive screw that i can remove to accomplish this and then just manually unscrew the whole thing and that might have to be good enough.
I see most vises seem to have a plate on the back across both guide rods and the screw itself. That all would need to be removed.
Id be nice if the release mechanisum was built into the fixed side of the vise so you reach under, pull the lever and pull the whole thing out or put it where you want it to set it up for your work piece. Seems like most have that quick release on the working part of the vice which im sure will add complexity and prevent the removal of of the working side of the jaws.
I wish i had a bunch of models to compare to see if such a thing was possible. I guess, in the end i can just "suffer" by taking the extra minute to screw in manually if there is no option here.
