I have a project that involves drilling four 1/8" holes in a wood block. The
block is
7.5" long x 3" wide but has a trapezoid cross section. The volume is sufficient
to
automate the job and I need good, consistent accuracy. Two holes go in each
non-parallel face. One thought I had was to jig and clamp the block with one
face
parallel to the table and the opposite face would have a 34 degree angle
compared to
the first face. Two small cheepie drill presses were mounted upside down under
the
table could drill those two holes and two more drill presses would be mounted
right-side up but at a 34 degree angle would drill the two holes on the top
face. All
four drill presses would have an air cylinder to extent the quills until a limit
switch is hit. (Joe Autodrill.........STOP laughing!)
Will the drill presses operate OK upside-down?
