Sunday 5/22 continued yet again
I needed to keep the wheel from falling off the shaft when it was spinning on the saw, so I started by drilling a hole. (With my cordless, drill, incidentally.)
It was slow going, because I had to stop every 5 seconds or so to add more oil. The cuttings were flinging the oil off the end of the shaft. So I wiped off the shaft and made a duct tape dam to hold an oil reservoir.
Drilling was much faster now. And it was time to tap the hole with threads.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I always feel so badass when I’m cutting threads into something.
