Hello. I have here a Craftsman Bit Brace I acquired from a local auction ( got a box of a dozen assorted braces for a buck ($1), cant go wrong for that money).
I was going to use it, but noticed in between the jaws there is anothe piece of metal with a key hole cut out in it.
I know it prevents me from putting a bit in properly, although the previous owner did use it as is, as I can see metal wear on both sided of this additional metal plate.
Does any one know what this is?
Can I remove the plate to use the jaws like every other brace or is this something special?
Thank you for your help. :)
