Brief Description:	Drill axles
Drilled the axle assemblies and gear legs. The toe-in was set a couple of weeks ago, before I left for Airventure. - Set the left gear/axle assembly under the COBALT 1/4" drill bit, centered on the previously drilled axle tube pilot hole. - Used lots of miscellaneous thicknesses of wood to support both ends of the assembly (photo #1 & #2). - Drilled through the axle tube and gear in one shot with the cobalt bit (no pilot holes), as suggested by Sonex (and it works great). I drill a littl, flood the hole with cutting fluid, drill some more, flood the hole with cutting fluid, etc. - Removed the axle assemblies and cleaned up the holes with the deburring tools and some fine sandpaper. Finished products in photo #2.
