Hi Ray, first I only have a little light perception. The holes do not have to go all the way through. but they must be in alignment. I have one other idea when I get to the hardware store. If I get two inside corner brackets. Mount them on the magnet bolts. Then set the pip on the brackets and drill holes through the bracket Then drop a small bolt through the pipe and bracket. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Boyce" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 2:30 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe
Hi Lenny Just get a piece of angle either plastic or metal and lay it along the pipe then mark a line along the pipe using either a scriber or pencil it depends if you have any sight. You can find a scriber stuck into your combination square. After drilling the top holes use the scribed line then with a centre square mark a line on the opposite side of the pipe and run a line along that side. If you just drill straight through the first time you might not have the pipe centred exactly and you will find it is out somewhat. I drilled a piece of pipe the other day when I was making a jig and found I had to start again because the holes were out so do it correctly the first time and it will turn out spot on. This will give you holes in line. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Wednesday, 20 January 2010 2:27 AM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] drilling holes in pvc pipe I want to make a holder for my table saws miter gauge. I have about a 20 inch of 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe and some very strong magnets with 1/4 bolts in the center. I want to drill a 1/4 inch hole near the ends of the pipe. How can I make sure that I have the holes in perfect alignment and centered on the pipe? When completed I can just attach it to the side of the saw and slide the miter gauge inside. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
