 It definitely looked like a penalty, but in FRC if it looks like a penalty and smells like a penalty, well, unfortunately it might not be. - Basel A [more] |

drill motor mounted successfully
OK... we are in the final assembly of our gearboxes and we have had some success.
We took the drill motors and tapped the two holes on the face of the motor for a M5x0.7 screw. Beginning with a regular tap dipped in grease, we started into the hole. Then, after a few turns to get the threads started, we pulled out that tap and began with another tap that had the point ground off of it (again, with grease). Using this tap, we threaded the hole deeper and got some pretty good threads on it. The grease is used to grab the metal shavings when cutting the threads. The motors were mounted into our gearbox and the threads seem to hold... we are not tightening the screws down too tight quite yet, though. Also, we did this upside down. Clark and Kyle Gilbert performed this procedure... they may have more comments. Andy B. |
