He needs to drill two 3" holes in the back of the switch box. He first took apart some of his secondary work bench area to accommodate being able to lay the box flat (there is a connector sticking out). Then he clamped it down to the bench...
He also made a jig to hold the hole saw bit in precisely the right location. Lots of specialty clamps later, he's all set up...
And starting to drill...
First perfect hole!
The conduit adapter fits perfectly...
And the hanging bracket he made will as well...
Getting all the burrs and sharp edges off...
The other hole is on the bottom of the box so a completely different set up...
But the same perfect result! It was a good thing that Jim had taken all the electronics out because besides the vibration, the bottom was full of metal shavings.
After cleaning up from that job and reassembling his work bench, Jim put the first coat of polyurethane on the window frame pieces. The tops and bottoms are over on his saw outfeed table.
In the little time before we had to get ready for church, Jim did some truck work. The battery was dead again so he had to use the Bobcat to take the generator out, use the battery charger and get it going. Then he took it around the block just to run it a bit.
