After some use I have to say that the Tungsten Carbide die cutters are amazing. Even just used in the Dremel I’m not sure how I’d missed out on them this far but they have transformed my metal working. They’re also going to save me a fortune in Dremel attachments.
Jed was right with his comments about the shrapnel they produce and I’m still teasing a splinter out of one of my fingers from yesterday’s work on the car. The latest progress is that I’ve POR15’d the chassis rail interior and repair panels so now just need to prep everything up for welding it all back together. Time to get busy with the Clecos then…
Managed a couple of hours last night which was a much needed de-stresser after a rubbish day at work. I’ve now fitted the chassis rail gusset to the inside of the engine side of the rail. Simple case of spot welding it on, but with the prep work before and tidying up the welds afterwards and then adding some seam sealer, the time just seemed to evaporate.
Next jobs are to drill the outside repair panel of the rail for clecos and spot welds. I can use the clecos to hold the panel in place then to ensure everything lines up. The outer repair panel will be the last piece to be fitted as the chassis rail top needs to go back in first. Sounds simple when you say it.
