Straightening Plates For The Knifemaker

[Masterjuggler]

I like the impact driver actuation a lot, I might just have to add that to my normal vise and make some removable straightening plates for myself.

The reason the vise jaws aren't parallel isn't because of of cheap construction, but is intended to combat racking. I recently built myself a wood vise and I'm kicking myself for not including that kind of angle on it, because the wood twists in the vise when planing it without that angle.
