Showing the versatility of the side mount vise hem as got me pumped up about one ! How far down do the side holes on a diy table need to be for it to flush mount with table top? Keep the videos coming, honestly didn’t think to much of it till you started incorporating the fixtures!
We have 2 versions. One for the Magnum series that the vise rods go through the second row of table holes.
The second is for the dragon wagons series. The vise rods go under the table sides.

@Fireball_Jason I also sent this to support, but some minor product feedback.
The vise arrived and is quite impressive! There is a minor issue with the mounting hardware however. On my 30x60 heavy duty table, the included 3.875 LOA shoulder bolts are not quite long enough: the nut catches only the first thread. I suppose I could either tap the tapered collars in deeper, or draw them in via the nut, but then it would probably be challenging to relocate the vise to a different spot on the table. Also, although the full hight nuts appear to block the two fixture holes on the top, the pins I tried do not hit the nut. Other than that, it is a seriously nice addition to the table!

Hello Larry,
I apologize for this inconvenience! Thank you for bringing to our attention.
We are looking into this.

We’re sending longer bolts out with the magnum table vises. As you can see your table is extra thick and beefy. I bet it measures 1-1/4” or more. You can tell from the counter bore on the backside.
On the plus side, that table is extra heavy duty. I bet it weighs an extra 300-400 lbs more with the extra thick sides and top.
Do you have a scale to weigh that sucker? Looks like you got a good one.
Will get new bolts sent out.
Thanks Jason, superior customer service as always from Fireball!
No scale, but a couple of quick spot checks: top is 1.34" and side is 1.29"

I ran a few quick cad calculations, the original table specs are 929 lbs. With the extra thick walls and top looks like your around 1150 ish.
I don’t doubt that number. With the stout legs w/casters & a pile of tooling, Forky, my vintage '68 2000lb Namco, grunted a bit as I fetched it from the semi. Each leg assembly was an armload by itself.
