With the scrap for the backplate I've not had any problems with the vise and it has been holding up fine.LazyHackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940092318427017225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802075472139289461.post-81625229285000720072012-08-22T09:21:11.646-07:002012-08-22T09:21:11.646-07:00I just bought the same vise and have a similar set...I just bought the same vise and have a similar setup for my bench top, two 3/4" pieces of plywood glued and screwed together. <br /><br />An unanticipated problem when I got the vise in the mail yesterday was that it requires you to screw the back jaw plate into the sides of the plywood. Did you have any problems with splintering the plywood or strength issues given the weight of the vise? I also noticed in the picture you have a piece of plywood scrap behind the back jaw plate. Is that to alleviate the above mentioned potential problems?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
