Another Welding table
Well after about 8 years I thought it was about time to do some of the things I had planned to do when I first build the table.

First step, holes, and lots of them.
Over the years had drilled and tappet a few holes to hold things down but there was no way I was going to do a 120+ holes through 1 plate freehand.
So one of the heads from my body roller, some RHS offcuts, linearthruster, mount plate a drill and we have some holes.

After drilling a dozen holes thoughts turned to tapping the holes.
I did not want to mount the tapping head to the ally thruster for fear of bending it so I pinched an idea from the net and built a parallel arm. I then mounted a hydraulic motor to that, machined an adaptor for the tap and now we have some tappet holes.

Adapted the drill head to the parallel arm and drilled some more holes.

As I am a lazy basted and found it too hard to push and pull the lever on the control valve to rotate the tap I set up a pneumatic control valve so I only had to flick a switch.

Had to move the setup around the table a few times and make a couple of other mod`s but eventually it is all done.
