Record DP59 + drill press vice?

[pe2dave]

New DPV5 'vice' for the pillar drill. Provided without bolts - looks like M10 - bigger than anything I have?

How to people bolt these down without one hand underneath? Any fancy bolt types that grip
the underside of the table please?

Not exactly fancy, but a coach bolt has a square section under the head, so choose some where that square is a reasonable fit into the slots, enough not to turn when you tighten a wingnut or nut on the other side.

Thanks Andy.. Fancy enough if it grips. I measured the slot at ~ 15.5mm... Is that M14? Wondering if Record haven't caught
up with metric yet!

Edit:
M15, 50mm long works fine... except the ergonomics of that vice aren't very good IMHO?

Is it tradition?
