Still just playing around so figured I'd make a fixture plate for future unknown projects.

14.5"x14.5"x1", 3/8x16 holes every 1-1/4", and the top of each hole is interpolated to accept a slip fit 3/8" dowel pin. Overall, I think it came out good.

Here is a test block I did as this was my first time tapping with a form tap.20210521_120633.jpg20210521_132155.jpg

Here is an oh-sh** moment that almost ended with a broken end mill, but I stopped it just in time.

And the rest of it. 121 holes total. All the threads worked great and pins just barely slip in.

The one I did is a piece of 12” x 24” x 3/4” aluminum jig plate, with (127) 1/2”-13 tapped holes and (126) 3/8”-16 tapped holes
