Well figured it was time to start understanding and designing the tail vise.
I have this model:

Instructions for it are here.

Here is what I have so far, wondering if a 12” end is a bad idea, also thinking I may be able to shorten it up some.
Also thinking about the over all height, I see other benches where the vise is taller than the height of the table thickness. I’m really anxious for input here.
I have to gouge out a track for the vise nut, I need to figure out overall travel dimensions.
Anyone else seen or used one of these vises?
