it'll stay together if the force is between the hinge and the adjuster i.e. it is pulling both together.
if groove cutting is a problem then drill holesand balls would work (I'll try to draw it for you later)

That would be more Vert-Mill friendly than long bored holes. I tend to still think boring because that's how my homemade lathe came together, long before I had a vertical mill. But V-grooving everything makes a lot of sense. You can do all the main body grooves without shifting the part in the clamping setup, which makes them all parallel. Good way to do it!
