Don’t forget the two 1/4″ horizontal holes through the rear (stationary) jaw. You can either countersink them and run a couple of long wood screws through them into the bench top or add a wooden pad to the rear jaw, drilling holes corresponding to those in he rear jaw, countersinking those and running in the biggest wood screws you can find.
My main vise (a Japanese made 10″ Craftsman) is installed the same way–lag screws vertically through open slots underneath and wood screws horizontally and it’s held together for 20 years.
