Hey Guy's,
I'd like to know what you think of this. With some aluminum bar scraps from work and a small sliding clamp from harbor freight that I dismantled for the locking mechanism and slide bar. Then with a little machining on the Bridgeport at work and a nylon bolt from the hardware store to replace the rubber end in the toggle clamp.
I made this to be adjustable and position it without any backing blocks. So with just a flip of the levers and slide the press base back and for shorter pieces, just slide it up and it locks in place.
