Q: What size dog-hole spacing does this vise work with?
It works with dog-hole spacing up to 7 3/4" apart, since the jaw has two mounting positions 3 7/8" apart on the vise body.
05G3101 - Veritas Inset Vise

This low-profile vise is similar to a wagon vise in function, but in a compact, self-contained form for easy installation in a work surface, adding a permanent, adjustable dog right where it's needed.
Designed to hold work between its single jaw and an external stop such as a bench dog, it has a clamping capacity that is limited only by the size and dog-hole spacing of your work surface. The knurled stainless-steel toggle handle turns a 1/2" diameter Acme-threaded steel rod to move the jaw in a 4" range of travel. The 1/2" tall, 1 3/16" wide jaw has two jaw-mounting positions spaced 3 7/8" apart for compatibility with dog-hole spacing up to 7 3/4". A keyway in the jaw face accepts a #10 nut for affixing custom shop-built jaws. When the vise is not in use, the jaw can be removed whenever you need an unobstructed work surface.
The vise installs flush in a stepped mortise in any surface at least 1 1/4" thick (instructions and mounting hardware provided). Constructed of machined steel castings and anodized aluminum extrusions.
Optional pivoting and low-profile jaws are available separately.

This inset vise requires a work surface at least 1 1/4" thick to accept its cavity; thinner benches need reinforcing to keep the mounting area strong.
Yes, you'll need to rout or chisel a stepped cavity into the benchtop so the vise body and its flush-mount wings seat properly; full dimensions come with the vise.
Not much. Periodically clear debris from the open ends of the vise and add a little lubrication to the main screw if it starts to turn stiffly.
Yes, the jaw face has a keyway that accepts a #10 nut, so shop-built jaws can be bolted on in place of the stock jaw.
