I've got a 4.5" craftsman vice. Is there a commercial set of punch attachments for it? Small round, rectangle, and square would be perfect. If not, what type of steel would I use to make one? I would think D2? Feasible to make?

Or, is someone gonna say that a vice doesn't create enough force to punch with? I know my hand nibbler isn't very big nor is my hole punch from HF, but they only work up to about 3/64".

The only thing I could find on a brief google search was
