Default Re: IH Die Cast Tractor - 856??

I used a stepped drill - chucked up a small drill for centering and aligning. Clamped a heavy piece of plate steel on the drill press off the side of the table - then clamped the die cast to it.

Nice thing about stepped drills is that they don't wonder much.

As for cutting fluid - I prefer WD-40 or 3:1 for the die cast.

Mostly WD-40 for our aluminum stuff.
