  8. It's for drilling the pilot and main hole for chain drilling my ford I beam ... drill one and put the guide in the hole .then you get a perfect center for the next

    HI. And when you are done drilling you can still bend something around it. Jimmie

  17. still start in the center ALWAYS
    Maybe you’re going to start with a hole at center or maybe you’re going to start with 1/2 of the distance between holes but it’s still the center no matter what

    You've got distance between the holes nailed. What about rotational, Trevor?... height location... up and down. Something to do with the notch in the block?

    Something like that would have helped. Maybe if I drill more axles.

    Threads like this always make me feel dumb and uncreative. There are some smart and clever people on the HAMB.
