It depends if you want to make a fixture mounted on the bench top or portable, bench top would be able to be built of a more powerful style from heavy gauge steel. With that in mind, the principle of the conventional 'Hold down clamp' which when applied, will multiply up to possibly 10 times the amount of pressure required to actuate the lever, and as long as you harden your dies, would be a fast and repetitive action and easy to operate. Just my thoughts on this problem.
