I have a cheap 16" drill press.
I bought a metal hole saw, jigged up a piece of tubing and attmpted to notch the end. The hole saw would just catch the tubing and bind. It appears the table isn't stable enough as it will move slightly. I looked at a tubing notcher. But the one I saw jigs up to a drill press and I can forsee the same issues. I can plasma cut and grind, but damn that is labor intensive. How about sanding rolls? rock cylinders? What is out there? |

QUOTE (mitchntx @ Nov 21 2004, 07:41 AM) I'm also gonna look at ways to further anchor the work table. I used a ball peen hammer to tighten it down ... Yeah I think I had to really grunt on that table lock . . . usually put a large box-end wrench over the handle to get more leverage because I'm such a pu$$y, (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This drill press is one of the floor-standing units, right? |
