Default Something I gotta make soon.

Today I wasted a lot of time making a 3" sq block into 2 1/2" square. We have a decent
saw, I should have used it in retrospect.

Like many horizontal band saws it has a swinging clamp which means you have to have
something long or a spacer on the other side of the movable jaw. Not wishing to dick with
the swinging clamp and short stock had me using the mill.

I'm thinking a bit of square stock with a hole tapped for a 3/8 bolt that covers at least
an inch of range will be quite usefull.
