I've never use a "louis tool", but do know of the concept. I've made several out of mild steel for "other than head applications".

That said, my best guesstimate is to bolt the assy on the stud and secure in the relative location. Use a non-cutting lube (engine oil, ect) on the tool to minimize wear, and use a cutting solvent on the push rod slot to be cut.

The tool has to wear some, more it wears, worse it gets...that why you'd want to use a lube (again, non-cuting lube) to reduce the wear to prolong the life if it.

What happening is you're cutting out a portion of a hole, the tool holds a a guid for the bit. Feed it slow, I'd go with about 800 RPMs on the drill motor, slower you can spin it without catching the end of the bit on the "half-hole", better off you are for the best results. Spin it too fast and the bit will deflect away from where you're trying to make the slot.
