Hi @smm274, We had a notification that you may have been working on the installation of your tail vice and had a bit of a challenge with some of the measurements. The length of the slot is 10mm longer to allow for the cover plate to be seated resting on the mortise in your work bench. Feel free to reach out to us directly at planemaker@hntgordon.com.au as we'll be happy to guide you through in full detail.
@@hntgordonco.2514 I deleted the comment, figured it out on my own. The drawing shows 290 mm for the slot for the vise but the vise actually measures at 280mm. I went with the vise measurement versus the drawing. Installation is complete and I love it!
Thanks for the update@@smm274 and glad its working for you. We get plenty of use out of the tail vices so we're always happy when our customers do too!! Happy Woodworking!!
I would like to order this vise. I’m just not sure why there two different travel sizes? Which one would I need?Why would you need a longer travel? Wouldn’t the 100mm travel fit all of your needs? I’m sure there is a reason. Thank you for your time and help..
Hi John, Sorry for the delayed reply. If you haven't already got existing dog holes drilled in your bench, then we recommend the 100mm travel tail vice as there is slightly less winding required, making it slightly more efficient. We decided to make a 150mm tail vice as a lot of benches already have dog holes spaced for 150mm travel vices. If we can help with any other questions let us know. Thanks :)
Hi Simon. The tailvice has a brass pin and a screw to hold it in place. Will be fine in that MDF top. Make sure you make it a neat fit and you will get years of work out of it. Regards Terry

Hi If your bench is less than 50mm thick you will need to glue and screw a piece of wood under the bench where the vice fits. So you can mount this vice to any thickness top by doing this. But essentially you need about 50mm of thickness if you don't want to add wood under the vice position. Regards Terry
Thanks for watching! Let us know if you have any questions on installing your Tail Vise here.
Pulled the trigger and ordered one from one of your US dealers. Can’t wait to get it installed.
Thank you, enjoy!

@@hntgordonco.2514 I'm building a new bench, so I will follow your advice. Thank you so much for your time and help. I will get the vise ordered now.
@@jolu2469 no problem :) thank you for your order.

My workbench has a 75mm thick MDF top, do you think this vise is suitable? Watched the video, looked like its only held in with a single screw...

How thick does your top need to be for this?
