[QUOTE="bazzason, post: 1574553, member: 39249"] My experience is that a 40mm top could be a bit thin for a good grip. 3-4” is ideal, but you can get away with 2-2.5”. To get more depth on a thin top, you could add material under the bench where your holes are (although this doesn’t work so much if your top has lots of dog holes). [URL='https://youtu.be/WNrof3cd1cA']This clip[/URL] illustrates the use of a batten with your holdfast to stop sideways movement, if you don’t want to modify your bench. [URL='https://youtu.be/S7lnfW4iT6o']This clip[/URL] shows how to modify holdfasts for increased grip. HTH [/QUOTE]
