i used to make loads of blanks for the chicks , when a repeat job came up it was simply a matter of pulling the pin an plopping on the machined blank that were designated for the job or a new blank , we used to be able to hug some pretty odd designs because any shape could be cut into the blank as long as we didnt cut as deep as the pin , all he77 would break loose if someone did
people shy away from them because they are aluminum but they are tough and when they are fit with hard jaws ive never had any issues with them , theres a good reason they cost more than other vises , its the quality , and the free hat you can send away for after purchasing , people tend to question a hat that say " Chick work holding solutions "
