I just made a similar clamp 2 days ago. I wish that I could make 200 a month, this was just for a run of 40.

anyway, the way I went about it was to place a block of flat stock in the vise on the left that was .125 thicker than the part then mill the profile out of the top of the block, leaving a flat piece on the bottom. I made the soft jaws on the vise to the right. the soft jaws hold 2 pieces, the left side holds the profile of the piece just cut out in the left vise, the right side holds the piece in the vertical position for drilling a tapping, and profiling the radius on the end of the piece. Its not much of a pain to make the soft jaws. It does waste stock, but its only a six minute part. This way the parts move from left to right, you just keep moving the part to the right and pull the finished one out. hope this helps. have a great day. I can send more pics thru email if this helps.
