I just started to make mine, shamelessly copying Lonewolf's design. Cut out of 3/8" aluminum, its pretty thick...I just used my brothers bandsaw and my handheld drill. I want to drill the hole for the center diff bearings but all the hardware stores sell the 5/8" bits at like $18 a piece and thats a bit too much for me atm for a bit I will hardly ever use..:whip: I saw a step bit at one store but it wont go deep into the thick metal..
Any thoughts?

if the step drill goes half way through you could just drill it from both sides. i cant think of anything else.

Urgeoner 05.16.2010 06:20 PM

Is 5/8" the right bit to use for the bearing then? Because I also measured a diameter of 16mm.

Chadworkz 05.16.2010 06:23 PM

Technically, a 16mm drill bit is the correct bit to use, because a 5/8" bit is only 15.875mm.

Yeah bearings need to be fitted very precisely to avoid abnormal wear.

Is $12 better? http://cgi.ebay.com/16mm-Drill-Bit-/...item1c127fb267

Or see if this guy will accept $10? http://cgi.ebay.com/National-Twist-D...item2557529352

Now that I think about it though, if you drill them by hand chances are the hole will be a bit bigger than the bit since your arm cannot mimic a drill press. That 1/8mm might not matter in the end...

LOL Nitro, I am watching both of those bits, I already asked a question to merlins about the chuck size. I always use ebay haha.
My brother has a very old craftsman drill press, and I believe it only goes to 3/8" so I gotta find a bit that fits 3/8 chuck.
EDIT:
Progress so far...

I need to figure out a way to sink the motor mount bolt slots. but here it is more or less:

Urgeoner 06.05.2010 08:53 PM

Well, this thing handles great! I can make complete 180* turns going pretty quick now and it won't tip over like it used to do. Problem is i keep forgetting to thred lock my pinions so I've lost 2 already. :whip:

You can usually find cheap counter sinking bits at home depot,then just put it into a drill and run it back and fourth along the mounting holes,it won't be perfect bit it'll work.--Josh
