almost done, help need advice
Okay spent the last few days drilling holes in the 304 SS 3/8" thick plate. I read you and seen on you tube that you should drill pilot holes first. 1/8" inch is what was used the most, than step up, so the 6mm only had to do the next size up, the two 8mm bolts to an extra pass. Basically went in 3/32nd increments.
Used what local store had, thankful it was the recommended type drill bits.

Now all needs to mount up correctly.

Okay I got a little lucky that I got all drilled on the mark, no margin for error in how I went about it.
Now please note: You want to figure out the most important hole first, get it right, than any others in order of importance. A lot of work just to get the pattern cut out and shaped, all could have gotten screwed up if I drilled wrong.
Now please help me, look at the bottom 1/8th inch pilot hole drilled at the axle location, got it on the money also, but this is the hole I should have drilled first actually and now I doing it last.
So 7/32, 5/16, 9/16, and than the 3/4" bit ?? or can one do the 1/8, 5/16/,9/16, than3/4, or 5/16 and than 3/4 ?
Okay next big question. Axle is 17mm dia. and if I drill a 3/4" hole and use the bronze pushing, well it's internal dia. is 5/8" and so it would need to be reamed out to the 17mm, I think that would be to thin.
Catalog has a 26mm outer dia. with the 17mm internal dia., and 26mm is near a inch. I guess I will look more later for bushings. Help me if you can please.:)
