Yes, this face vise is designed to mount to an existing bench or be built into a new one, with mounting screws included.
The regular vise gives an 8 1/4" clamping capacity for general work, while the large vise offers 13" capacity and an offset screw for vertical clamping, so choose the large size for taller assemblies or vertical work.
