So my understanding is that the goal is to get the metal from the furnace/kiln between the plates as quickly as possible. Aren't you wasting time by spinning on the vice. What if you used something more like a bar clamp that could just be slid closed but had to have the trigger pulled to release? Just curious here.

I set the jaws slightly larger then the width of the steel I am using then pull the blank out of the kiln and set it in that gap (the plate at the bottom will keep it from falling threw). I then turn the handle turn the handle with my free hand. Once I have pressure on the black I set the tongs down and use both hands to tighten the hell out of handle. ]]> Dogwood Custom Knives dogwood dan http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1067076-Modiffiing-a-bench-vice-to-plate-qunich-repost technical difficulties http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1067075-technical-difficulties?goto=newpost Fri, 10 May 2013 11:37:31 GMT I have been having technical difficulties, preventing me from posting they now seem to be mostly repaired.
