Well , dang it , now y'all got me ponderin' . How about a set of
"master jaws" , that a soft jaw can be bolted to ? As I mentioned
over in the Logan group , it'd take a better machinist than me , but

Jim , I can screw up a lot of steel , and still manage to make a usable set
for a LOT less than $571.36 . Come to think about it , those might not ba as
hard as I thought . Real precision is needed at the slot , but the rest
doesn't need all that tight a tolerance - after all , they're adjusted
independently ... and I could make them with a bit more meat at the tabs ..
