you should look up Bad Dog drill bits. watch some if their videos on Youtube. if they hold up half as well as they claim they would be amazing. they are not cheap though. I havent used them, but am thinking about it.
I'm sorry about that. In pennance, I am going to try to match your reaction score to your post count.Someday I want to go back through this thread and count how many times we have completely derailed. I don't mind, it's all good fun, but I'm genuinely curious!
But-but-but...Bucks County Hackmaster...have you considered the possibility that maybe they all might be just resting up and gathering their energy and will for the next big push..?If ya’ll spent the amount of time working on your projects that you spend naming your hole makers the trucks would be done by now
Didja ever see that Clint Eastwood movie where he passes by a small town graveyard and one grave sign says...I have one that goes by two names. One is Wesson, the other name is Smith.

Let's see, that's about a hundred likes I got to hit. Time to get cracking.

I'd use the skid steer to pull the truck, it would probably go faster.But-but-but...Bucks County Hackmaster...have you considered the possibility that maybe they all might be just resting up and gathering their energy and will for the next big push..?
Ya gotta include some banter to have a well-rounded situation...
I mean...why are we here other than to socialize with like-minded folks that all share a common interest..?
I have just rested up today because I worked myself to exhaustion the last two weeks...moving equipment 'n stuff and road trips and bush hoggin'...and...with no square meals the whole time...just snacks and whatever I could grab...I slept one rainy night in my truck...(I had been looking forward to that..) I just needed to relax and do very little today to recharge...
Other than my Girl...who I am very proud of...this is my Pride and Joy...
some how...I just knew I was setting myself up for something like that...I'd use the skid steer to pull the truck, it would probably go faster.
What kind of lathe do you use..?
I am curious...what kind of tool are you using to cut the weld prep..?
and...could you tell me the turning speed and feed rate..?
I like to soak up anything I can from successful people...helps at times when I ordinarily would be at a loss...
This project it looking good so far...
I had a chance to get an antique lathe and passed it up only because I just did not have a place to keep it out of the weather at the time..
It was a real beauty...I kick myself from time-to-time when I think about it.
I didn't really find that to be too difficult the last time I did it. I took a grinder and made a cut across the rivet head, next I used a chisel bit on an air hammer to remove the rest of the rivet head, Last. I used a punch bit in the air hammer to push the rivet out of the frame. You don't have to make the cut across the rivet head all the way though. Most of the way will work just fine. That way you also don't have to worry about cutting into the frame.I believe next on the list is the part I've been trying to avoid I have to remove the rivets from the rear hangers so I can mount the new shackles that come with the RSK.
