So the workbench top is arriving today, and now I'm working on installing the Rockler End Vise.
Starting off, the instructions say that the wooden jaws that you make for the vise need to be 1/4" above the benchtop.
Why would you want the jaws to be above the benchtop. I've never seen that on a benchtop.
What am I missing here?
Also, the 8 holes to install the vise would prevent expansion/contraction and possible cause cracking on the benchtop. How do you prevent that?
