Vise table - efficient use of a workbench

Not always the size of the workbench, even if it is not quite tiny, is sufficient to perform certain tasks. Of course, if he is standing in a spacious workshop, nothing prevents him from becoming very large and not experiencing at least some inconvenience due to its size. But this happens far from always, and its length is often limited, for example, by the width of the loggia. And practically in the middle there is a bench vise, leaving very little free space on an already small workbench.


But the Russian ingenuity here comes to the rescue and that which prevented "turn around" and made work difficult, came to the rescue. After all, having made from improvised materials (in this case - a piece of plywood, a “five” and a piece of solid timber), in just five minutes it’s simple device

we doubled the size of the table.

For the stability of the structure, the sheet is not just laid on top, but a piece of timber, screwed on with self-tapping screws, is tightly clamped in a vice. Of course, for shock operations and loads, it will not be the best solution, but here's how the table, also raised to the height of the vise itself, will fit just fine.

In addition, if the beam is fixed not in the middle of the sheet, but with an offset to one of the sides, then the arrangement of the table will be even more universal. And if the table vise is also equipped with a swivel mechanism - it's generally cool. As well as taking the length of the beam equal to the length of the sheet. Then the improvised table itself can be placed with an offset to one of the sides.

But this is not the main thing. In just a few revolutions of the handle, the table is set aside, and the vice remains in a vice.
Successful use.
