True, but it will be a lot easier to weld onto existing steel that has the same dimensions.

I was kinda kicking around finding some 6" I beam to keep it the same.

Hey all, questions. So i finished this project over the winter, now I'm bored, lol I want to widen this trailer to the outside of the wheels, whats the preferred method and what material to buy to do so? thanks for any help.

I used these in my sectional door, but i had a lip. If you dont, just get a couple cans of 3M upholstery adhesive, spray the door and the insulation panels and they should stay permanently. The panels were close to my door panel size, just required a bit of trimming with a lithium circular saw...

I am not doubting your experience but, how do you explain the countless people that have done it successfully with a drill press? There's literally hundreds of youtube videos and thousands of people that have done it on Calguns.net. You have been the first i have even heard of having an issue...

So a defective jig was the problem, not the jig in itself. IDK about poly lowers, I wouldn't get one. Maybe you should have bought a 3d printer, lol.

Even when they were doing AR build parties(Now Illegal, you have to use your own equipment), the same jig i bought was used for the expensive CNC machines that at a machine shop, these were not cheap machines and were commercial grade CNC machines. I personally did a couple back in 2012 and...

I am actually wanting a cross vise for hole placement when drilling and not necessarily for this milling project. I just don't want sloppy junk.

I didnt see a link for a mill in your message, i would consider getting one even if its a few hundo more. I have too many i have been looking at on ebay and cant decide, lol. My drill press is below. http://www.harborfreight.com/16-speed-floor-drill-press-43389.html

I appreciate your advise, but the jig is made for a drill press and literally tens of thousands have been done that way. I know of at least a few hundred done with a press just from buddies in the hobby. Here's youtube videos and the 80% arms website. There is also an easy jig for use with a...

Yes and No, yes for milling 80% ar lowers, no for any precise milling stuff. The lowers have a jig holding everything in place. My Press has a swivel top already.

I want to get an X Y setup for my drill press and not sure if i should get a milling table or a cross vise. The cross vises in my price range 1-200 seems to be junk as far as being precise, the milling tables seems to be more. Any recommendations? I am not doing precise milling but do appreciate...

thanks guys, since the size is 65 inches, there should be 32.5 inches to the center of the center beam. It may have a car, tractor, gravel, and many other things thrown on it over its life. So, i gather along the length of the trailer a cross beam every 24", kind of what i was thinking too. I...

As soon as it rains and the fire danger is down, i want to start my trailer project. I bought this I beam trailer off of CL, it was a heavy duty military boat trailer. I had a 20' tilt all steel trailer i sold because of the bridge going to my property, i always had a couple treads off because...

Ok hillary, i mis-ued the word, 180 is plenty hot to cut off any grease grime ect, inlcuding your skin if not careful. regards, Trump!
