You shouldn't be fucking around with that shit anyway, you should go and cut a couple of chunks out of a tank or some such other beasty, or is that what they are making them out of these days ?

What like this kind of scrap metal?



Or is this more your idea of scrap?


Gotta love some of the "toys" laying around the workplace . . .

Now there’s a couple of restoration projects to keep you busy.

Just what’s needed for touring Buchan.

Would have a hard time seeing those ones with all the cammo on them But a couple of chunks out of that lot on the pallet would be ok.

Hmmm !!!!! what has not been stated is what size hole do you want to drill, and how many ???? I have drilled steel plate 50mm thick with a hand held drill and it's very hard work, and that was drilling 1/2 inch holes,,But to make it easy, I drilled a 4mm hole first, and yes it tended to wander slightly, also I had to resharpen the bits a few times.

Drop into a fabrication shop and they will drill it with a mag base rota broach.
If you're near Rutherford I'll do it for nothing.

Just noticed you're not near Rutherford

All good mate and thanks for the offer - work has the ability to drill it - was just interested in others thoughts on the actual how etc.

Use a live one of these. You should be able to find one.
