Yeah, I could just go downstairs and try...
I need to make a low-profile clamp strap, so I can mill a goove into a piece of round stock. I've seen a number of v-blocks that are bored and tapped, so you can bolt down a bar.
I've also seen a pretty clever C" that's shaped to slide into the clamp slots, which is then tapped for your hold down. But that adds to the width of the setup.
If I can't bore my v-blocks, should I buy a cast iron block? I assume that wouldn't be hardened. Yes?
