Here's another one the same - the top of your vice should be level with the bottom of your elbow with your forearm horizontal.
I would advise against having your bench adjustable as one of the most important features of a good bench is rigidity, especially if you are using a vice.

back when i was building stainless benches etc for shops etc the AS std bench height was 920mm i thought...Originally Posted by one_iota
I hate to bring up the subject of dishwashingI bought a dishwasher
However this is a fact...for me a kitchen bench should be 930 mm not the standard 900 mm... the sink base is 150 mm lower and a pain in the neck.
Trust me I am (was) an architect.

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comOk, so when will you start making some well-priced stainless steel water tank to put behind the seats of our cars? The ones I looked at at the camping show on Sunday were $550!
A friend made up a water tank from stainless steel cut from an old urinal. I suppose it was good steel and it was cheap.
I'd have a go but I can't weld.

Many years ago when I did my fitter and turner apprenticeship we were taught that the right height should be determined by standing upright against the bench with your elbow just touching the top of the vice. As the vice was the main tool on the bench it needs to be positioned so that when cutting or filing you are standing upright. The bench height is then lower by the height of the vice. The bigger the vice the lower the bench.
Works for me!
