I drilled a clearance size hole from one side about 1/2 way trough the piece. There is just no reason to have 3/4" of 1/4" threads. Saves a lot of tapping and broken tap risk. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice, I built a pallet last year but my vice wasn’t big enough to hold it. I managed to get it clamped down on my mill table but some how the parallels I used weren’t the same size so all 100+ holes came out crooked, I wasted a 12” x 3/4” disc of 6061! That taught me to double check the size of the parallels BEFORE I drill!
OH no. My original plane was to mill a recess on each edge so the the plate would fit, but it turned out to fit leaving it full size. Thanks for stopping by.
A pallet is still on my "to do" list, but I didn't have the right material for it. Yours came out very nice, and even better you did it on a mill/drill like mine. And very cool that Michel sent you stickers too, I like his idea for the #coathanger2020, I just need to get time to make mine!
Wish I could get my video editor to give me better fast action. Very nice pallet. Being able to make changes during the machining process, can serve you well.
The editing program is called Video Pad. It works well and I think that it only cost about $50.00. I have been using it for a couple of years. There are a lot more features than I use.
There was really no reason to tap the full 1" depth for a 6mm bolt. I still have enough thread to resurface the pallet a few times. Thanks for stopping by.
I was power tapping. I was using Aluma Tap but apparently not enough in that hole and the tap seized up and snapped quick. I knew better, just rushing and got a little aggressive.

This is one of those projects on my to-do list. Thanks for the warning about tapping all the way through. I’ll definitely rethink my approach.

On my machines i leave the belts loose on purpose. If something goes wrong i prefer a slipping belt than a broken machine.
Thanks for the shout out.
You are probably right about that. I am looking forward to my coat hanger build. Still brainstorming the design, but I did get some material for it.
Good job! Nicely done!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job Came out nice. Very useful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, it works great. Check my next video to see it in action.

we all need bigger milling machines..
NO ROOM! LOL

I have been putting off the pallet build for a long time but needed it for a job so no time like the present. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Good job there. I made two of those and I appreciate how much work you did.
That was a lot of drilling and tapping! Thanks watching and commenting.
Gday Steven, nice work mate, good idea opening up the back of hole to make tapping easier, Thanks for sharing, Matty

Were you power tapping with the mill or hand tapping? I usually find the smoothness of the mill under power works better.

bcbloc02 I need your address so I can send you a sticker. Bcliff8@hotmail.com
Nice! Made a very similar thing for my milling attachment. Honestly it's a lot more useful than the clampy thing 😁. Thanks for the share 👍😊👍.
I could have done the next project in a different holding configuration but this worked great. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good work. Rusty is an awesome dude.
I think that he would be fun to hang out with. Thanks for stopping by.
It looks good Steven
A mill pallet is on my future build list
I have been putting this project off, but needed it for a job. I will be using it in the next video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
When I made mine up I used a drill with a tap, but my plate was only 1/2 thick
That is what I did, just got a little too aggressive. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would rather see the technical part of layout, etc rather than watching you square the part up and blue for layout
