    Captain,
    Great idea about using the magnetic sign material as a liner in the the vise. Along the same idea, I recall seeing one of the YouTube machinists use small strips of magnetic sign material as a liner for metal lathe chuck jaws to protect parts from marring. On my "to list" is to make "clip-on" lathe chuck jaw liners out of 0.03" thick copper sheet material.
    Thanks for the comment,
    Paul
