I got the replacement parts back to the place where I made the mistake before. I was about to push on and do the countersinking, but decided I was tired and didn’t want to make any mistakes.
Bought a cheap Delta band saw and drill press. It’s amazing what $99 (each) will buy you. These are pretty cool tools. The band saw takes a lot of set up, but works great. I used it to knock off the corners of HS-710 and 714. Saved a lot of time over sanding them off. I got an 18 tpi blade for the saw. I figured that would be better for cutting the aluminum. It cuts through just like butter.
I pondered quite a bit on how to attach the drill press, band saw, and sander to a small bench on casters. I don’t want to attach them to the bench. They’d always be in the way. And storing them underneath and lifting them up and down is already getting old.
