1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

10 mins really is all it took!

I ran it (without drilling anything yet though) and it doesn't have any visible runout; nice and straight and pretty quiet for a drill press.

All I have left to buy is either an Evolution saw or some sort of bandsaw.

We'll see.

 

I am literally in the same boat, washing sheets between other stuff. didn't do laundry or much maintenance in the kitchen for the last week after trying to recover from wheeling and going to a concert l

 

No runout and no noise? Aight I'm gonna have to get one of those

 

That's what @Yota X was saying.

Again I haven't drilled through any steel yet but I bet it'll easily handle it with the right bits.

I like the extended platform for wider pieces.

Just need to mount the press onto my table as I don't expect to want it anywhere else other than where it's at now.

 

Yeah my house looks like a tornado came through. Either been working or playing all summer, can't complain.

What concert did ya see?

 

Def can't complain about that, better than a summer spent at home keeping on top of chores and everything spotless lol

It was Korn + Evanescence

 

Michelob mitigation and tracked with the heeler

 

A good belt sander would be something to add to that list of needs. For sharpening drill bits, deburing, knife making etc.

If you learn how to sharpen bits on it, it will pay for itself in no time.

 

Great pic! That bow is beast!

 

Funny you say that, I've wanted to buy one and a pedestal for one.

You and Jimmie both mentioned sharpening bits so it's something I'd definitely want to learn to do.

 

Sharpening bits is a skill and you can do it on a belt sander buts it's easier with a pivot jig on a pedestal grinder

 

Yeah mentioned that above; I already have the press taking up my bench so a belt sander will automatically need to be on a pedestal I can move around.

I'll use bits that no longer work well as my sacrificial lambs to the cosmic slaughter; can only learn with enough practice right?

 

Its not hard at all. A couple bad ones is all ot takes before you've got it down.

 

What kind of belt sander you got?

Would be nice to have one for getting rid of burrs and whatnot on freshly cut steel.

 

Get a drill point guide, you'll drill overlarge or undersize holes or only drill on one flute if you do it wrong

Looks more legit than mine

 

We had a wilton at my last job, thats probably too industrial for your garage.

Id go with Rikon at the house for a nice one.

 

Good point
