Well I read on here about drilling bars and how hard the steel is yada,yada, yada...
First time trying to drill an oregon pmp 36" was, well, unsuccessful. New carbide bit but no drill press-- 1 hr, 3 killians, a bunch of foul words. I have a friend that has a shop that does fabricating, waiting to hear how it goes.
I've drilled a lot of holes, but not this time. Thanks for the warnings or I would still be drilling or passed out.
Oh yeah, I kept it real slow and made sure there was no heat so at least my buddy can get a fair shake at it. He has some kind of laser table that can do it if he can't get it drilled. Can't wait to mill some walnut if it would stop flooding and raining.
