This is the plan I have come up with to create the end pieces:
1. create a rough strip sufficient to create 4 end pieces
2. place the strip in a vice and level one long side.
(this will become one of the high tolerance surfaces)
(I assume the vise will position the face perpendicular / vertical)
3. finish the side
4. cut the rough piece into 4 parts
5. place the 4 parts, sequentially, in a vice. Use a rod on one side to force the machined edge square on the vice face. Make sure the face sides are perpendicular / vertical.
6. machine the edge - this should result in a square corner. (do this for all 4 parts)
7. use and edge finder to find the corner.
8. based on the corner, position the mill to drill the mounting hole
(this is done based on the dimensrions)
(#10 and tapped to 1/4 20) (do this for all 4 parts)
9. now the final step
place the pieces face down and square against the edge (step 6 above)
ensure the part is level
find the corner and the position the mill to the bearing hole
drill the hole. drill the hole to size.
---
in the above the part is positoined only once per critical edge. All holes are drilled against one pre machined corner.
Any advice would be appreciated.
