I have a part that consists of two metal plates 1” thick separated by a hub. The distance between plates is 2.5” and the total distance is 4.5”, the material is mild steel.
I need to drill and ream 6 equally spaced holes to a size of 7/8” diameter.
I would like to do this on my radial arm drill press holding the part in my Hartford SuperSpacer to index the holes.
I would like to drill the holes in one pass to save time, then ream to the final 7/8” diameter.
Is a spade drill a good choice for this? Will the holes align after drilling to allow the reamer to do its job?
Any suggestions for another method.
Thanks
Jim
