Drilling holes in metal angle
Re: Drilling holes in metal angle
Brilliant Tim, and yes you would be able to use again, but i would drill a flat piece of Aluminium and use that has the template. You can always use the ruler again to drill out another piece if and when the 1st one gets unusable.

Sorry for the late reply but have just spotted this one. A useful little tool for scribing a line parallel to an edge is a pair of odd leg dividers, which has one leg with its end either curved or angled to run along the edge of the workpiece.

A carpenters marking gauge will make a line parallel to an edge.

That was before I got the laser - now I draw the holes in CAD and let the laser cut themBusted Bricks wrote: βSat Sep 30, 2017 5:17 pm Print it, stick it on with a glue stick, centerpunch, drill. That's how I do it.
