I have an import mill that's nearly identical to a Grizzly G3102. I want to use a Kurt D675 vise (w/o swivel base) on it because I found a good deal on one and would like a better vice than what I have. I usually keep a small rotary table - maybe 25 lbs - on one side of the table & the vise on the other. Would adding an 80 lbs vise be too much weight? I don't want to cause damage or premature wear, but can't find a spec for how much weight the table can support in the manual for mine or the online Grizzly manual.
I typically work on smaller parts, so I don't have 20+ lbs of stock on the table in addition to the workholding, but because the machine is pretty limited in Z axis travel, I'm moving the knee up/down all the time.
