Hi Lads I have been wanting to make a storage rack for R8 collets for some time I had thought about using wood (but i just dont like the stuff) Settled in some 1.4 mm aluminium This was cut to size and bent to fit in a metal drawer Marked out to give 30 holes I made a simple hole cutter from some shiney bits of steel i had found under the bench The pictures tell the story The studding is 10mm the finished holes 23mm Finished job much better than those red plastic tubes John |

Nice job and well executed..... :bow: Looks simialr to the Qmax chassis punches that were around in the 70's.. ( I think they are still available? ) |

Basically a home made copy Great for aluminium Would need to be hardend for steel John |

It looks like those holes came out nice and cleanly. I wouldn't have realized that you could get such nice results with that method. |
