The parts are all stacked up on the plate and clamped. I'm drilling the 3/32 spring pivot holes.
Not shown, in order not to lose the location when I removed this spring and blade and replaced them with the second blade and spring, I used additional clamps on the plate so that it wouldn't move while I substituted the other set.
Now the springs, center spacer and liners are all matched up and the spring pivots are established.
Can you see how important it is to use a tooling plate while fitting all the parts?
I never use a layout or the pattern to drill holes in individual parts. This way, they always match and fit together perfectly. And I never use a center punch!
