My first part

I can see already that this one is going to have it bad.
Part looks good!
To make multiples, have about 1" of stickout on each side of your vise, machine bar to profile, then mark out , drill, and then power tap all of the holes.
A tip for power tapping- don't use a 4 flute tap, use a 3 flute or one of the many taps designed for power tapping. There is not enough room for chip build up with a 4 flute.

Remember to peen or damage the bottom thread so the bolts won't go thru and break the mill table.

I made it using my lathe and belt grinder.

This is currently the world’s most expensive T-nut. Everything you make after this just averages down.
