Randy -
In fact, I was about to set it up in the vee-notch in the little vise and then put that in the big vise, but decided that too many fixtures would only add to the error.
Having only made one of them, I have no idea if it was luck, but I suspect that it is as repeatable as the ability to measure the center of the rod.
Workholding is always the big challenge for me. I like puzzles, so I make it fun. What kills me is taking the time to set up a fixture for a one-off part.

P.S. I'd hate to think of moving my mill. Lifting it and resetting on the stand it would go OK, but crating it for a van ride would stink. Good luck! |
