Better off with a proper chuck that changes with the head and not the SDS plug in type.....they tend to waggle

I had to replace all my electric tools when I moved in 2008. My old drill was a big Dewalt hammer drill that took abuse and kept on working. It even tried electrocuting me several times while wrapped in a plastic bag putting plywood on my windows before a hurricane. It was raining so bad at the time air cooling wasn't an option. Neither the drill or I died and the house was still standing after minus part of the roof so all was good.
I replaced it with another 2 speed Dewalt hammer drill at Screwfix and it has been running fine since. Built my cage, drilled 100mm holes in my house and anything else I asked. Works fine but I have to be very careful because when it does jam it tries ripping my head off. Notching tubes in the garage can hurt if you don't watch it. But when it jams and you are standing on top of a ladder drilling bricks it gets very exciting.
I also prefer a standard keyed chuck then a twist lock.

Yes..... :hysterical:the jamming hurts, both the drill and the operator.....
Had one jam on me drilling a core from a wall for fan outlet.... But being left handed it spun round and hit me on top of the head.....as you say up a ladder makes life exciting

My personal experience with notching tubes is to run the drill as fast a possible without burning the hole saw out. When it catches it doesn't grab as much. When going slower I feel it comes to a halt and goes wrong.
I also worked out how to do smaller tubes in my drill press. Supporting bigger tubes at odd angles is a nightmare sending me back to the gig.

A few cage updates......
Cage now out.......heavier than a hardtop
Made some cage work to hold the seats and harness. Harness is not at full stretch to the floor now...
Just got to turn the tack welds into decent welds and apply paint......and try to get the bigger back in without killing anyone
Hopefully some pics will follow.

Bad connection somewhere and some fool has been there and bodged up something.....

Most enjoyable don't think i'll ever get tired of that place

Just took delivery of a Plasma Cutter (C-Tec 30) and fired it up...... Will do 8mm Max so that'll do as I only go to 6mm to date.
So after years of getting covered in grey dust and burning the crutch out of numerous overalls
( I am left handed
) it really is quite nice to use......
New and unused for a substantial saving

I have saveral tourch sets i brought with me. Gas cost and bottle rentaal here is a pain so i ended up getting a cutter. Fantastic quick and clean. I do miss gas welding with coat hangers but the cutting is so much nicer.

So thanks to Bisleywrangler aka Ian for advice and suppliers the '1 Tonne's' beadlocks are coming together.
Nothing exciting but here's a few pics of welded centres and beadlock inners and outer in 1 Tonne green.
The next step is assemble one and check bolt length needed also thickness of belts....hopefully 17mm as these are easy to get at the correct length.

Good work Jez, I'm at a similar stage with mine, will you grind the weld flat before you mount the tyre?
I've borrowed an old tyre off a mate to mount and bolt on to check my welding is air tight before I pull my 37s off the wheels they are currently on..

Welds are ground flat on the face of the beadlock and I tried to leave as much weld on the side but just dress it so that there were no rough edges and hopefully no leaks
Silicone on the inside of the beadlock should help or maybe eliminate leaks.
Read today on Pirate that some use silicone on the tyre bead before bolting down the beadlock.
Hopefully won't have to go that far.
Other advice is to torque to 20 ft lbs on the beadlocks. Some say only 10 ft lbs and some say as high as 30 ft lbs.
So it's a vague old science.....
