A jig... |
| raynerd:
Yea, thought of that but can`t think of how to form it? The only other thought was to do the mounting holes first, bolt the bearings into position onto the soleplate and then mount the soleplate vertical with the bearings parallel to the drill and drill and ream right through the two. My only concern is that the large gap between the two bearings would mean my drill could wander.... still a decent idea, do you think? Chris |
| kwackers:
Sounds complicated. Why not just do them one at a time? You could use the soleplate as a jig and fit each one in turn, drilling and reaming them. Or you could just drill them, fit them both in their final positions and ream them to size. (The reamer will follow the holes you've already drilled). |

Chris, I would definitely go with your method, that's going to ensure they're in line and it's no extra work :thumbup: Nick |
