    Looking for a drill press for garage use. Prefer floor model but would consider a bench top. Suggestions under $400?

    Hey guys - I'm about to place an order on 2x.120 DOM for a full cage in a DCLB (excluding engine for now). How many feet/18ft sticks would y'all recommend to get something to SCORE spec? I don't have access to any of the fancy computer programs...

    I can't remember exactly but I thought @Basikbiker used 180 feet, maybe it was 120, for his access cab taco? Maybe search his build or his past posts?

    Most of the racing sanctions require 2" for vehicles of our weight.

    Alright, I've spent hours searching and am not having much luck. Can anyone recommend a good gravity conveyor roller table? Looking for one about 10' long to use with our band saw when we lay full sticks of steel out. 24' sticks sitting on a small stand I made at one end sucks when trying to move it for short cut lengths. Especially when I'm moving 3" sq 3/16" wall steel square tubing. 200lb 24' sticks suck. Haha

    For the hole saw, don't get cheap. I go with Lenox, they're about $10 each but I can get 100-150 cuts per saw whereas cheap ones maybe 50. Also, keep rpms on drill below 150 and use WD-40 on each cut too. Extends the hole saw life and cuts cleaner.
