I end up doing this all the time since my current small mill is limited to 16" X travel. However I define Y with respect to the upper jaw of the vise so all I have to do is slide the part in x to get the dowel pin aligned. With no vise one could always use two dowel pins as y index and then clamp when you get X aligned. People with machining skills come up will all sorts of ways to adapt. Most work. ;-) Dave > > > Funny, how we've been sitting perhaps thousands of miles away and > simultaneously writing up the same idea. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Try before you buy = See our experts in action! > The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft > developers is just $99.99!
