I cut everything over sized and work it down with a bench grinder and finish and square with a file. It is a lot of work but it keeps my mind occupied and out of trouble. I bought a cheap Chinese drill press vice the other day. I didn't like the finish on it so I spent the afternoon and part of the night milling all of the contact surfaces with a file. Then it was honed with a dead flat honing stone. The thing is like glass, square and flat. Worth |
