I was using the radial arm drill this afternoon to drill a couple 3/4 holes in 1/2 inch plate. I needed to copy the hole spacing on a part I'd ruined so I clamped it to the plate with a couple vice grips. Then in the drill vice and drill the hole in one shot. The drill grabbed right when busting through and the part pulled right out of the vice and turned into a helicopter. I'm glad the vice was as high as it was, I just got a nasty bruise on my belly. If it had been a few inches lower, I'd be a soprano right now. Karl Karl I wouldn't even bother to throw those skivvies in the wash, just throw them away! |
