V-Groove Parallel

Ever wish you could hold a round rod (or square stock) in the mill vice and be able to drill holes or mill the entire length? Well, I have and decided to dedicate a tool to that task that would end trying to use parallels underneath to space the rod up to the right height. I milled a 90 degree v-groove in one of my ½” thick 6” parallels and presto problem solved. V-Blocks work ok for the larger diameters, but not so much for the small stuff.
