Message 48 in https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/tool-post-holder.69487/page-5 describes the use of a pinch clamp to fix a tool holder to the tool post. I like the idea and want to use it for my next tool holder, but I have a question about making it. Specifically, when boring the hole for the tool post, how is the pinch clamp-to-be fixed in place during that op? It seems to me that there is a pretty good chance that just inserting the bolt in its hole will permit it to turn due to the machining forces. It can't be a press fit because of what it's supposed to do, so how is that accomplished?
I can see something funky like a set screw to hold it in place but dislike the idea of doing that just for machining the thing.
