What Did You Buy Today?

That's a ridiculous amount of convoluted. A friend of mine drilled 960 holes in his 6' x 5' table with one 5/8" annular cutter and a simple indexed flatbar pattern.

Do not confuse or guilt me with facts... you missed the comment that I already ordered the table... :grin big:

I did not wanted to make this another unfinished project... got too many of those already. This is the last of the tools that I needed to make more tools... hehehehe...

Don’t worry, it was pain in the ass. When he finally finished I asked him what his best number of holes in a day was. He said ZERO!

I've gotta agree with this. Don't make tools that you can buy, unless it seems like an interesting/fun project. I don't find drilling a bunch of holes to be all that exciting.

@pontiac428 and you want me to make my own welding/fixture table? :oops:


No man... Langmuir ARCFLAT table ordered! :D

I'm embarrassed to admit that I actually watched the video. Sort of like a train wreck.
What seems the strangest is that his day job seems to be CNC operator.
He even CNCed the reduced diameters and flats on the tool shanks.
How could a person have familiarity with and access to CNC, but still choose to rent a mag drill for three weekends?
Brutal.

Does anybody else doubt that the workpiece was actually two 3/8" A36 plates welded (and dressed) around the perimeter?
How could there be no gaps, between the plates, mentioned or shown in any hole?

I just watched based on your comment. at 25:58 if you look at a the inside of a few holes, you can see the separation of plates. So yea, he did weld two plates together, and what a fantastic job he did. No I would not do that by hand if I had cnc.
But he did a nice job. I probably would not have reamed it until the end, since the guide could be repeated and done.

edit: geez ray, that cnc was small, no way to do the top with it.

I guess I dozed off for a while. I do see the gaps you mentioned.
What a cluster . . .

This one seems like a better build

 
Can't seem to be able to find an affordable magnetic drill press that accepts 3/4" Weldon shank annular cutters... Vevor units come with some sort of quick release mechanism that is not compatible with 3/4" Weldon shank cutters...

But then I look for annular cutters with the quick release and can't find those... I am definitely doing something wrong...
