Thanks, Tom, but this was a CL "find".

That's an oddity. Ordinarily the movable jaw leans inward at the top toward

the bench, so that when you tighten it the racking force will straighten it

up closer to square. I'd worry that you've got a bad casting. You might

consider returning it for another.
