Re: Tosa Tooling Plate
Good to hear you are happy with it. Those plates sure look nice, and I can understand why people get them.
Once you start working with stuff that doesn't fit in a vise, playing around with strap clamps is a PIA (not to mention that it complicates setups since you have to machine around the clamps). Setup on those things is so much faster, and you can make setups that would be impossible on a normal table.
You going to mount it directly to your table, or are you going to mount it on stand-offs?
I am happy to see a small shop succeeding making parts in the USA... tough to do in this global economy. I know that is the dream of a lot of use here.
oh, and....
