Please be patient wiht me, Im new.

I have 2 1"x1/2"x 48" aluminum bars

I have a small vertical mill. I need to place 2 1/" dia holes in the
same exact location on both bars. How do i drill the forst ane and
ensure 100% placement on the second one?

THanks
Scott

Use a transfer punch. You can get a set for about $10. I'm assuming you
mean
1/2" diameter holes?

Or, depending on the configuration, he may be able to just clamp the two
together and drill both at once.
