The cold wet weather drove me into the shop today.
Built a jig to hold the racks and tracks for the plasma table, while drilling the mounting holes, that will be used to locate the rack material while Im cutting the teeth. The jig will allow me to bolt the tracks down while I cut the v on them.
An old survey bar donated by a friend who is a surveyor was the raw material.
Here I'm countersinking the mounting bolts.

Once mounted I could mill a shoulder for the material to be clamped to. Then holes were drilled, reamed for 1/4 inch for dowel pins, and the bottom of the hole threaded to later clamp the bars for milling the v.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
