I got the idea from J. Higgins when he was on BF a few years back. Made sure you get a vise with the quick release.

I take my bevels down to around .040" before heat treat, and plate quench and have never had any warpage, this has been on 5/32" thick steel and hollow grinds. I will be trying a fillet blade, made from 1/16" 440C, and will do a little grinding pre heat treat, but not much. I will have my fingers crossed on that one.

Tracy, do you think the slightly anged jaws will effect the plated meeting evenly??
i think it would be ideal to cut one of my plates in half for this set up.

I generally do 3 at a time, but i quench separatly. so i can cut mine to be 11" x 4" x 1.5" thick.
