Re: mounting Aigner rails on cast iron machines

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Use your drill press to make a drill guide. ?A simple piece of 2x4 with a hole drilled into it the same size diameter as the hole you want in the cast iron table edge. ?Then clamp that block to the cast iron with the hole over the desired location. ?The hole in the block will constrain the bit and will ensure the drilling operation is perpendicular to the face of the cast iron. ? No need for a mag-drill.?

Thanks everyone for the great advice.

I am drilling to the side of the machine to mount a F style bar. It is through hole (the cast has a thickness of ~ 1/2¡± thick). I don¡¯t need to tap the hole, it secures to the cast iron with an hex nut.

i also have a drill press, but it isn¡¯t possible to bring the machine to the DP :)
