I use aluminum angle with a strip of refrigerator magnet glued to
the top flange that rests on the top of the factory jaws. Made a
rack on the end of the bench that they live in when not on the
vise.

Are there any serious disadvantages of "soft jaws" made of
Aluminum?

The reason for my question is that I have a Wilton tradesman
1765
vise (6.5" jaw width), and I have aluminum angle already. Brass
jaws
cost $85 and I thought that I coudl just fabricate something
from the
angle.

Any experiences with aluminum jaws?
