    Vise mounting

    How far below the edge of the benchtop should the top of an iron vise jaws be mounted?

    There's no hard and fast rule. Mine is 1/2" below the bench top. I don't want to hit it with a plane blade and that gives a bit more depth.

    Doesn't really matter as long as it's lower than you will ever plane down the top. I think mine is somewhere between 3/8" and 1/2".

    Mine is about 1/2" below with the wooden jaw face being flush with the top for dogs.
