What's the best way to get the groove absolutely square to the bottom and sides?
(Psst: Use a clamp on top to keep things from rocking up out of the vice.)

Another project for the ever growing list.

Nice. I could have used them myself, a couple of days ago. Did you cut the V with a v-mill, or tilt the block at 45?

Thanks guys,
They were cut on the vertical mill using an end mill cutter. I used a "tilting" vise set at 45 deg. They were made as one and then cut in half to have a "matching" pair.
Just lightly finished off with a file (de-burred)

I've got two matched pairs of Starrett No.278 precision vee-blocks. One pair is in near perfect condition, I use that one only for inspection. The other pair has some "shop wear", so those are the ones I'd use for workholding.
