first thing is index drills wont give you a flat bottom so you will have to use your .937 and finish with an endmill.

second is yes a good index drill will hold +.003-.000

I would drill and ream the vices and the table for slip fit dowls. Then drill and tap for key stock on the bottom of vices. Then mill a key way across the table.

work zero x= left edge of far left...

Not sure if this is a option for you, but if u plan on using these vices allot for this job and others i would machine the vices and table for repeat setup.

First look on the bottom of your vices...

hello sts john

it sounds like you need a coated solid carbide tap drill (#36). no need to spot and no need to peck. sumitomo makes some great drills but thy will cost more than your cobalt drills....

I will agree with you guys, Rigid tapping will work with standard collets but be careful with your RPMs. I will some times rigid tap at 8000 to 10000 RPM and at those RPMs you need tap collets.

if you have rigid tapping you will need to have tap collets, they will hold on to the square end of the tap.

form vs cut

6061AL form or cut
brass cut
copper form
anything cast cut
