Making A Fly Press For The Workshop | Part Two - The Frame

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be moving along with the build of my mini workshop fly press. In the previous video (   • Making A Fly Press For The Workshop |...  ) I managed to machine the base. All 25kg of it on my relatively small milling machine. If you haven't watched it, I suggest that you do to familiarize yourself with the scope of this project.

In this video I will finish off the frame, which will be made from welded pieces of 75mm solid square bar, roughly 3 inches. This is solid enough for this project. Before it can be welded it will need to be tapped using by massive 40mm square thread tap set, which I made a few months ago. The square thread is better suited as a power transfer screw than a normal 60 degree V thread.

However tapping with such a large tap set is going to be a very difficult and drawn out process.
