I need to make up a couple of v blocks to line the jaws of my drill press so that I can drill pen blanks accurately. The easy way would be to use a table saw and set the blade at 45 degrees and run it through a couple of times to get the v cut, however I don't have a table saw. I do have the Triton workcentre but my saw stays permanently under the base as
I have aligned it carefully and don't want to move it to overhead mode. The blocks would only be 75 by 25 mm so that makes it a little difficult to hold on a SCMS. I tried to do this on a bandsaw holding the wood upright but the blade seemed to flex a bit so the cut was not consistent throughout. My router table is not working as well as it should so that's out of action for the moment so can't use that either.I'm sure there must be an easier way to do this but I can't think of how, any ideas?
