Place the v-block on the drill press, lower the drill bit until it
bottoms in the V, clamp the v-block down and every single cylindrical
object placed in the v-block will be drilled through the center.

Duh, of course. Thanks - Mike


I know the feeling. I have days when I make some rather elaborate set
ups on my vertical mill then have a eureka moment like that It's best
not to have a witness around at times like that.

Isn't it amazing that those moments always seem to happen AFTER you
have done it the hard way?

The worst is when you do an elaborate set up to do one piece and
later look in Machinist Bedside Reader and see exactly what you should
have done. It's the little things in life that makes one feel so warm
and fuzzy
