Random Instructables 10/14/15

Instructables of the Day:

Today we have an epic project, I would love to see someone follow in his footsteps but it doesn't seem likely.

We Make because we must.

We share because it's the right thing to do.

Not because droves of followers will gather behind us.

Sexy 6 axis Robot Arm Build


Second we have an easier project that may help you build the larger..
$30 Precision PCB Drill


Drilling holes in PCBs is always a challenge, here's a drill press using a pneumatic die grinder to help. I would take the $30 part with a humongous grain of salt, starting from scratch it looks like at least $50 to me..

Random Instructables 10/2/15

Instructables of the Day:

Turn a Bandsaw into a cutoff saw

This instructable is unfortunately mostly a video. he builds an aluminum pivot to turn his bandsaw into a cut-off band saw. Its a nice project made out of Shiny Aluminum :)



Cross hole drilling in round stock:















I know what your thinking, this is dead simple. It's actually not at all. Many times something that seems simple becomes incredibly hard when you need it to be precise.

I once had a method for achieving this, my material had nice straight lines down the length.  after I drilled a dozen or so holes I realized. Those nice straight lines twisted about 20 degrees along the length, Oops!
