I needed a fixture to align a switch, a round printed

I made this over the weekend. It works beautifully.
How did I do it with just a manual lathe and mill?

Almost looks like you made a cutter or cutters on the lathe to mount
on the mill, and I bet the sides of the fixture are a tad less than 90

Actually, they are just a tad more...
