[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 161103, member: 8843"] That jig actualy woulden't be that hard to build if you have a mill that the vise will "pan" so that the angle will be cut correctly. I have done a few bolts of my own and I use a couple small V-blocks placed on opposite sides so it makes a V-block vise per say and that is clamped in a vise that if filled to a rotorary index table , I then use a small carbide mill to cut the diameter down to the correct size , it all sounds very complicated but once your vice is centered to the table and the table is dialed in it just takes a little playing with the bolt in the vise to get it angled right. That lathe setup would work ALOT faster though. I talked to Chris Mathews about putting on badger bolt knobs and he used a hollow , or inside mill which is a very expensive tool. If sombody has made several of these holders it may be worth the call to see if you can just buy one. [/QUOTE]
