Thank you for showing us how to prepare the steel, drill, tap and thread the holes. I see you first drilled using a 3.20mm drill bit on your press. Then you used a M6 drill/tapping bit. Is this correct?
@@VoltageStudio Thank you for your reply. Would be nice to see the final assembly video, when you get the time please upload it. I know having a heavy drill press is a must have when working with steel. I just don't have the space for it and was intending to drill the holes using my cordless drill like you did on a couple of sections and was looking at a smaller Desktop v4 with 50x50x3mm steel. But I am concerned about attempting to drill all the holes by hand. Your comments will be appreciated :)
Congrats on a square frame! The first and one of the bigger "moments of truth" during the mechanical build.
Haha. It really is. Again, not sure why I was worried. Maybe because it’s one of those super important pieces.
It all starts somewhere!

Correct! It was just for a pilot hole / alignment so the M6 didn't wander. The M6 chewed through it no issue.

Transfer punch or center punch? Transfer punch seems to be a the way to go and it looks like that's what you have
Yeah. Center punch. It fits the templates since you’ll have various sizes and can “move” the impressions around if needed.
You can just 3dprint a guide for the punch.
