As some of you probably remember, I'm building a Kinyon style power
hammer. I'm getting to the stage where I'm about ready to start welding
things together, and was looking for advice.
The baseplate is about 3/4" thick and 2'x 3' roughly. The bolt holes are
about 3" in from the edges. I was planning on putting conveyor belting
under the baseplate. Do I need to go to the edges of the baseplate, or
would 18"x30" be enough belting to put under it? (I can't find used in
the places I've checked, so I'm going to be buying new.) Also, I can get
thicknesses up to 1/4" thick. How much is likely to be enough? I'll be
ordering today.

Sorry to follow up to myself, but I forgot the other question....
I also need to drill and tap 4 holes on the end of a 6 1/2" cylinder that
is about 29 inches long. This is a little taller than my drill press can
handle (one of the 'bench' HF specials...not to bad though, it drilled
3/4" holes through the 3/4" base plate). Is there an 'easy' way to drill
these holes short of spending $90 to rent and mag drill press?

Please log in for more thread options post an offer of a "drill four holes for a case of beer" on
craigslist. Anyone with a regular floor DP can do it for you.
If you were local to me, I would do it for free.
(or you can buy a floor style drill press).

Turn the head of your drill press 180 degrees on the column. Orient
the drill press so the head sticks off the edge of the bench. Make a
couple of wooden double v blocks ><. Clamp your cylinders to the
Drill press column using the double v blocks, and block up from the
floor. Drill away.
