Pedestal Base

If you need the upgrade on the vice, not a bad idea. I have a permanent set-up with my vice clamped to the table. I also have a pedestal to use when I travel. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to clamp a vise- the pedestal takes care of that. The only thing I don't like about the pedestal is my scrap collector that hangs below the table edge  only works with the clamp. The pedestal base has to be heavy, at least 1/2 inch stock. If you have access to the stock and some metal working skills, it's easy to make one. In a pinch I made one out of wood. Too light. A fair amount of vices use 3/8 rod, make sure your clamp and pedestal  is the same if you wish to use both.

we make custom bases out of granite to any size and shape also on larger ones we can drill for tool holders but people most of the time put good vise in these for the investment
