How much does the swivel base add to the overall height?

Is it necessary to bolt the swivel base to my workbench?

Troubleshooting

Vice does not rotate smoothly.

Ensure the swivel base is securely bolted to the workbench. Check for any debris obstructing the rotation mechanism and clean thoroughly. Verify that the vice is correctly mounted and not causing misalignment.

Locking mechanism does not hold the vice firmly.

Check that all mounting bolts (base to surface, vice to base) are fully tightened. Inspect the locking lever and associated parts for damage or wear. Ensure no debris is preventing the lock from engaging fully.

Swivel base seems unstable.

Confirm that the base is securely fastened to a solid workbench or surface using appropriate bolts. Ensure the workbench itself is stable and not prone to wobbling.

Difficulty aligning mounting holes.

Double-check that you are using the correct vice model (Faithfull FAIMV100SG) for this base. Ensure the vice and base are properly seated before attempting to insert bolts.
