300 holes later...

admin

A part I made today. (Well actually two.  They are identical)304 stainless.  Those are roughly .25" diam holes.About 176 lines of code for a little over 300 holes (150+ holes per part)Had to do all by hand pressure on the quill / spindle feed.About 2" thick.  Super sensitive parts.  Get one chance not to break the tool off inside the metal.My arm is officially tired.  8 drill bits RIP.  Gallons of coolant later....Zap this wasnt a fun job...
