For years I've had a piddly little vice that clamps to the side of my somewhat rickety bench. I'd really like to get a bench vise, but the only place I can attach it to this cupboard that I have: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90206501/
It's an extremely heavy and solid cupboard, but I wouldn't be able to bolt the vice to it, as I can't drill all the way through or get to the underneath of the top section. Can one screw a vice into the top panel (is there a certain thickness it needs to be?), or do they have to be bolted?
Also, can anyone recommend a good bench vise that can be screwed down instead of bolted? Doesn't have to be massive, just big enough to whack stuff around a triblet and put the fancy ring bending tool I'm coveting into.
Thank you!
