Well, does it really matter?
If the M8 bolts fit, the holes must be at least 8mm.
I think we can ignore the '5mm' quote, unless the OP has somehow managed to bend the 'laws' of physics ;)
 
For comparison, my mini vice is m12.

You know for measuring internal holes you're supposed to use the upper jaws? You know his vice is about half that size too?
 
You can use either jaws or both. If I have 3 hands, I could probably take pic of upper jaws during use.
 
I think OP is a wind up merchant. The picture they showed of it is a stock image taken from a website, and here's a picture of a real one on eBay placed on a 1cm squared cutting board...

Look at the second pic and zoom in. The holes are not 5mm.
 
FFS, where do you live? Anywhere near me and I'll bring my nut and bolt box and do it for you. God knows why you need a vice, never heard of anyone killing themselves with one but there's always a first!
 
Leaning towards it being a wind-up (screw-up?) too - I'm struggling to understand how a thread about bolting a vice to a desk gets to 59 replies. It's about as complex a task as operating a light switch

I wonder when caulk will get a mention? :ROFLMAO:
