As I have failed to track down a reasonably priced mag drill I was pondering on whether I could clamp a drill stand to the universal beams?
All the drilling would be done on the flat and I already have a decent low speed hand drill, I have machined up a Weldon to straight shank adapter so that I can use Rotobroach/annular cutters in my pillar drill and mill.
Would a drill stand provide enough rigidity to enable a 24mm cutter to drill through 10mm plate?
And before anyone suggests hiring a mag drill I have looked into it and its not cheap! Plus the chances are I would need it for more than one period.
