I've been reading and enjoying:
Machine Shop Trade Secrets by James Harvey
He has a nice idea for squaring, which uses a ball bearing with a flat that you put on one face of a milling vice giving a single point of contact on that face. I did not notice in the book - I must admit to scanning it - how one does such a thing. Any ideas? Being a ball bearing is hard as heck one assumes that one must use a surface grinder but how does one clamp a sphere?
Cheers,
