Newbie question here....
I need to drill 24 holes (2 each) in 12 pieces of 1.25" square bar 3.5" long.
Whats the best way to do this?
Space and drill all the holes before cutting to length, or drill each piece after cutting to length using a vise stop and seting up the DRO for proper spacing?
What speed and feed to use?
Pilot hole or not?
Drill bit or end mill?
I want to do this right and not ruin any bits or cutters in the process as there may be more to do in the future.
Thanks Guys!
I am sure having a ball w/my Jet now it is up and running w/the DRO installed.
