Drilling fixture and work holder

Claim 1

A drilling fixture and work holder comprising: (a) at least a first one piece, uniformly square cube having six flat surfaces and all of its corners chamfered at a 45 degree angle to form twelve additional flat surfaces whereby the original six sides of the cube and the twelve chamfered corners form an eighteen sided symmetrical polygon; (b) the eighteen flat surfaces being arranged such that each surface is paired with a surface on the opposite side of the polygon to form nine paired surfaces with the two surfaces of each pair being parallel to each other; (c) said polygon having a center point and each flat surface having a midpoint, said eighteen flat surfaces being arranged such that the midpoint of each flat surface is spaced the same distance from the center point of the polygon and said paired flat surfaces being arranged such that the midpoint of each flat surface of the pair of parallel surfaces and the center point of the polygon are along a single straight line; (d) a plurality of nine or less, but more than two cylindrical bored holes of differing size diameters ranging from the largest size to the smallest size extending completely through the polygon, each bored hole extending from one surface to the parallel surface of each paired surface and positioned concentric with the single straight line containing the midpoint of the paired parallel surfaces to provide only one bored hole per pair of parallel surfaces; and (e) each larger size diameter bored hole normally being a means receiving and holding a rod to be drilled and each smaller size diameter bored hole perpendicular to said larger size diameter bored hole being a means receiving a drill to cross drill said rod.
