It's easy to add nuts in the channels of the VS600 jig, giving clean and sturdy attachment points for accessories. The VS600 is not modified by this change.
Procedure:
- Support the VS600 so that the black end caps are not touching the bench surface. 50mm (2 inch) elevation is sufficient.
- Open all three lever handles fully.
- At each end, remove 4 Torx screws holding the black end cap in place.
- Pull slightly on one end cap, and rotate to expose the front channels.
- In the upper channel, place several M6 nuts, flat surface toward the front. I removed the two stops to install 2 nuts to the left, 4 between, and 2 to the right of the stops.
- In the lower channel, place several M8 nuts, flat surface toward the front. I placed 4 in, next to the clamping stud.
- Rotate the black end cap to expose the rear channel. Place several M8 nuts, flat surface up, in the channel. I used 4.
- Replace the end cap. This is necessary because you need all the slack on the other end now.
- On the other end of the jig, pull slightly on the end cap and rotate to expose the front channels.
- You installed all of the M6 nuts from the other end.
- Place several M8 nuts in the lower channel, flat su...you know by now.
- Rotate the end cap to expose the rear channel.
- Place several M8 nuts in the rear channel.
- Reassemble the VS600, using 4 screws at each end.
