Gunner,

The force that bent it was from the handle hitting the dirt, am I correct
?

So turn the screw 180 and drop it again?

Can you remove the handle and housing and put a long piece of pipe on it
up
almost to the nut?

Or if its on the other side of the nut, maybe use a pinch bar and an
aluminum block, after rotating the bow towards the underside of the
table..... Better yet, get a helper and do both.......

Im straightening aluminum extrusions in the vises, loaded on the cnc
before
machining, measuring warpage with an indicator in the spindle, Im using a
16in. crescent wrench and a piece of pipe to add leverage.........

The keyword here is "leverage"......

Good Luck.
