    The only time I think I save money (since cutting & milling) is in the winter time when that oil truck stays out of our driveway. ==c If I come home with a just the bit and not a drill press we'll have saved some money.

    Might check craglist for a press. There some really nice ones out there cheap.

    Just checked Smokinj, not much in this area. I'll wait until I get a spot cleared out in the garage unless I find something in a garage sale.

    Thanks

    I bought the above and the cobalt drill bits for steel from dewalt, I decided to try the drill bit in the rigid drill. I put the old bar over the new bar, one set of holes lined up so I marked both then drilled which took about seven minutes total.

    I used the dremel to knock down any burrs on the outside/inside of the groove, took the air compressor an cleaned the groove out so tomorrow some chains will get sharpened then we are ready for some milling.

    Looks good bud. I expect some video of the 090 milling when you get a chance. Oh and a little dancing too, maybe try the 'robot'.>>

    The 090 I can do the robot might have to wait.
