Measuring, lining up & drilling holes
I have a piece of 1", 1/8" aluminum angle iron that is 18" long and 1/8"
thick. I want to drill sixteen holes in it, in a straight line, each hole 1" away from the other. I also have a flat piece of aluminum that is 2" x 18" x 1/8" thick. I want to drill two rows of 16 holes in that one. All holes are 1/4" in diameter. I've scrapped enough metal to set my ego aside and admit that I need help with the very basics of basics. How do I make the measurements, mark them, and then drill the holes? Thanks! |
