If you're not getting spiraling pig tails, use more lubricant saves on drill bits

In Milwaukee s infinite wisdom they changed the shaft size to 1/2-20, standard shaft for a 3/8 chuch was 3/8-24 ao now I have to make an adapter or put the chuck on my Dewalt

Found this out after I watched the video on chuck removal

Couldn't figure out a way to get a straight cut on the flange, until I saw the replicator in my toolbox

Re: PO has me PO'd

Just hope it's not all over my hands

On another note don't like the way this NOS trim is lining up. Rather not screw up nice trim I'll look for some beater 72 trim, I can still do the 2 tone paint

Re: PO has me PO'd

That looks pretty good
Time for some zip screws
Cut some of the bolt in flange back to get a better fit to the patch panel

Re: PO has me PO'd

Lesson learned contain all the tools needed for a particular project in a box when you get back to it you
don't have to search your toolbox to finish project

Looking good Jim. Are you going to use the step tool for the panel fitment before adhesive? I had my panels line up better after that.

I had thought of that but my crimp er has straight jaws and worried I would get some uncontrollable warpage

I could build new jaws if I could get the tool apart dang
