Can someone help me here? I was taught when squaring up a block of material to first fly cut the face with the largest area with the block seated on two parallels. Then turn that surface so it is against the solid jaw of the vice and using one parallel in the back and a drill/reamer blank between the moving jaw and the block, seat with a dead blow mallet and cut the second side. Now this is where my assistant and I do it different. He says to rotate the block so the first side is facing down and the second side is against the solid jaw. I flip the block so the second side is facing down and the first side remains against the solid jaw. Again using the drill/reamer blank between the block and moving jaw the third side is cut. He rotates again for the fourth side with the second side facing down and the third side against the solid jaw. I place the block second side down and first side against the solid jaw to cut the fourth side. What is the proper way?
