If you have a really heavy workbench, you might install a
woodworker's vise. These remain flush with the top of the
workbench. Design a base plate for each tool with a keel that can
be clamped in the wood vise.

I helped a friend install a female drill collar flush in the floor
with plenty of concrete and rebar. He made his tool bases of old
worn out male drill stem. Pretty decent system, but those bases
almost needed a hoist of some type to move around depending on how
heavy the tools were. He is quite a bull and young/dumb enough to
do them bare handed.

I have a number of small Diacro benders, Beverly shears, vises,
anvils,
etc. that I would like to be able to mount and unmount on a
bench
conveniently and quickly.

Has anyone designed a quick attachment mount that work for this
type of
application? It would need to be able to resist rotational
torque from
a bender, vertical downward pressue from a shear and shock from
vises
and anvils.

I welcome any and all suggestions.
