I want to modify the fixed jaw on my Perverti-vise for an adjustable stock support. This will serve the same purpose as a stop on a horizontal vise. What I have envisioned is a piece of 1/4 x 3/4 flat stock about 1.50 in. long with two 1/4 dowel pins spaced 1.00 apart through the 3/4 face. These pins will slip into holes in the fixed jaw, providing a consistent support for the part. The fixed jaw will have about 6 pairs of holes spaced 1.00 apart vertically. I would, of course, like the holes in the jaw to be a very close slip fit on the dowels, which requires that the spacing between the holes in a pair be VERY closely controlled. I only have a vertical mill (no jig borer), and the holes are on the small side for boring, so I'm looking for suggestions as to how to produce them. I have a 1/4 in. reamer which produces a hole that is perfectly sized to slip on a dowel, I just have to figure out how to precisely and repeatably produce the pilot hole.
I have couple of ideas, but I'm not going to taint the pool with them. So let's hear it.
