funny you say that under the blue plastic there is a hole for a 3rd display and a hole in the end for a 3rd RJ9 buy only holes so I suspect the 3rd axis was a extra option

It's definitely easier to make a square hole round

That's the same vice I've got on mine - it's a beast, isn't it?

it is a beast i didnt realise it was so heavy.

to make the round hole square i take it i just use a narrow milling cutter

Drill out round. Broach to square.

Or get busy with a file.

I have an old scroll saw which can be doubled up as a die filer
