Hello Jim,

This error would have shown up with four pin holes if two were separated
in X and two were separated in Y. For accurate alignment, separate as
much as possible. Perhaps the four corners of your pieces.

I sometimes use as many as eight 1/8 inch dowel pin holes on a 4x8 inch
aluminum plate. I ream to 0.126 inch. Sometimes the mating pieces are
too tight with all eight pins so I leave out the 1 or 2 that seem to be
binding. The end result is usually good mating with no play that I can
feel while not bound too tight.

Actually, I am wondering how you got three pins to mate if your axes are
not perpendicular. Are the three in a straight line or do you permit a
very loose fit?
