A block to mount the QCTP on to eliminate the compound. I made one previously but for some really stupid reason I did not make it to the same height as the compound which requires me to adjust the tool holders in the QCTP when I switch between the block and the compound. A royal pain in the butt because of my stupidity!
I machined two sides of the block and found there ware ridges on the surfaces that pointed to an out of tram mill head so I de-condomized the mill and measured the tram. I was expecting the Y tram to be out based on the ridges but it was spot on and the X tram was within .00025" so out of tram was eliminated. Next I measured for jaw lift on the movable jaw of the vise but there was none at all. Perplexing to say the least.
So now I'm trying a fly cutter to see if I get better results. To be continued.
