I drilled and tapped the hole in the back of six bearing blocks last night. I just have to do the holes in the top and do the finish machining to finish them. If this go as planned I should have them done by mid next week. I'll get to try out my new buffing wheel too so I can make the brass nice and shiny
I got some black oxide drill bits and good taps including bottoming taps from McMaster Carr for this project and I can't believe what a difference they make. I had been scraping by on my cheap HF drill bits but after using these I feel I now need ;D a full set of good drill bits and taps. The difference is night and day!
