Thanks guys.
One thing I would like to mention, you dont have to spend a lot of money on things you dont need in many cases. One is parallels. A parallel is a set of steel bars of the same thickness and width used in a vise to hold things in a manner so it is straight and square. But not resting on the bottom. This way you can drill a hole and not drill or mill into your milling table vise or whatever. There are already many items out there to buy to do this. The aluminum I used is an example. It is very accurate and square more than enough for most jobs. You can also use them to set up flat stock in the head of a lathe to get it to sit square. Just remember to pull them out before to start the lathe or you will be sorry. |
