Made a file guide.
I made a file guide tonight. It is mild steel, and doesn't use dowel pins. However, I plan on gluing some carbide tool blanks to it. I am going to try to add some pins, but I don't have any pins, nor the appropriate reamers and drill for them. I think if I want to do 1/4" I will need #C bit, 0.2495 and 0.2510 reamers. But I am not sure how square I can drill on my drill press, so perhaps it will be an experiment. For the time being, I wanted this tool to use for aligning bolsters. So I am not too concerned about hardness
