This is a very nice vise.  It is truly heavy duty and seems to be well made.  The template was no help as a guide for installation as the holes didn't line up on the face.  I held the base in place with Irwin clamps and used a center punch to mark the hole location.  The installation screws/bolts were included.  I also felt that the handle was a little on short side, so I cut a hardwood dowel to 16 inch length and attached the end caps that were provided.  The quick release feature is wonderfully clever and easy to use.  I attached maple faces to the vise using the threaded holes on the base and the through holes on the front
