Counter sink too large for anything commercial

I could use the plate and one hole to shape the dowel. CS side up but then how am I shure which i round off the tip that I centered it. I would guess the spinning action of the DP may work just not as precise as I would like but I will try it and let you know. -

No lathe and no pencil greater than the .350 hole. -
I have a plate to mount but it has .350 dia thru hole with 82 deg countersink. Supposedly for #12 or #14 screws but no vix bit for that size hole is available. So how to accurately find the center of the hole? The #12 screws fit but are recessed below the surface of the plate which is desired. Note even sure if #14 screws exist maybe it is then measured as 3/16 or 5/16 or just what is the next size up. Any ideas on how to find the exact center of the holes? There are 6 of them in the plate and I am to make sure the plate is parallel to the bench. but any little 1/64" off center and it does not work. Any and all help appreciated.

Yes my end caps are cross grained also but when you cut a slot in cross end grain what you get is long grain. Then glue in a board into the slots of both end blocks and table. Then for good measure bolt it in place. -
I had a very unfortunate visit to Northern tool. I had a electric chain saw to get repaired. They said over the phone bring it in. Then when I got there after a hours drive it was a no go because it was electric. I completely dissembled it and found that the bearing on the shaft had over heated and the plastic housing deformed badly. So in the end it was not repairable. But the way I was treated left me with I will probably never go back.

Johnsons paste wax was replaced by natural wax paste and is very available.

What I did was to put a spot on glue on the same board on both ends and that stabilized it (I) then used pocket screws on both ends of I going into D and I into J after J is glued in place. I am using wormy oak with red and white intermixed. Once done I will upload a picture. -

OK so what would you do then glue it all up? -
In the below picture are component I and N when glued to D are in a cross grain connection. They mate with H in a long grain connection. how much glue and only in the center board of D? Also end grain connection to J and E? Yes this same connnection happens on the other end. I think that is why there are lag screws connecting H to D and E. Should I be concerned?

I also asked in hand tools and most replied the wheels are for cross grain only. Knives are best for in grain and pins are OK because pins deform the wood on both sides where knives don't but what mortise was ever put together without some type of overlap that would cover up the pin deformation.

Marking gauge come in 2 types pins and roller. Which do you use and why? I am looking at getting one.
