    Other Toolboxes with a drawer for the bible

    Just so everyone can tell. I am not nor have I ever played a machinist. Is the Kennedy toolbox the only toolbox with a drawer for the book? I have a pdf on my tablet but it would be nice to have a paper book in the garage.

    Ideas as to how to embiggen this hole?

    Bicycles are thin-wall chrome-moly when steel. The bottom bracket itself is a little beefier but the idea of running a pilot hole unnecessarily seems risky. I am too fat for my Columbus sl frame these days and it is like trying to ride an elastic band. They make racing bikes with minimal...

    Ideas as to how to embiggen this hole?

    Dremel with one of those extension shafts plus a carbide burr grinder and a willingness to completely destroy your bottom bracket and you are good to go. A die grinder will make it way too easy to cut right through those thin walls.

    Tool Looking for a Drill Press machine that will do 1/2" drill and bore without making a mess

    Denbigh - Horizontal/vertical milling machine - $2700 - Winnipeg

    I did not find out. If I was I wouldn't have posted it on the forum :) I don't have 2k in my wallet to buy some old iron with. I need to buy a lottery ticket or start a piggy bank.

    Sound like I need to find a business. Infodungeon.com likely won't do it.
