You guys asked for a contoured steel plate to mount your Hardtail vise to. This is 1/2 steel with holes that are ready to be tapped 5/8-11 or drilled larger if required. Located in the vise section on the fireball website.

Would it be possible to share the DXF or CAD file of the mounting plate to those of us who have bought the vise?
