You make an important point about the blade rubbing. I'll update the article.

I don't understand you comment about 1/4" thick jaws working since they bent when I used them. In fact, I thiink they were more like 3/8" thick. What you you mean by "clamping range"?.

I may be confused. I was talking about the attachment you posted. The additional jaws attached to your original jaws looked to be about 1/2" thick but then I read the attachment again and it said 1-inch!!!? If this is the case you lose 2-inch of clamping range. The 1"-inch on the moving jaw limits you further because the moving jaw hits the blade guide. How of earth do you bend 1/4 plate? If we are on the same page and have the same saw (which in both cases we may not) something else would likely break before the 1/4" plate would bend. In fact my original fixed jaw is likely less than 1/4" thick in some places. I used 3/8" just because I had it but I have taken if off a several times to have the full capacity of the vise.?

I attached two pics. the first shows where the blade guide hits the movable jaw and the second is how I hold small stock. And I totally agree about the gap where the blade goes into the table. I need to fix mine.?
