Re: FRC pocketing
I am not sure on the lifespan yet, but I have had very good success using this tool for drilling through 1/8" and 1/16" aluminum with a cordless drill. It produces a very nice hole in a very short time without the need for any cutting fluid.

Re: FRC pocketing
For those considering .125 wall versus .063, by the time you pocket .125 to be the same weight as .063 unpocketed it will actually be weaker.
Thin wall tubing is one of the best things for saving weight. |

Re: FRC pocketing
I wish VEX Pro sold VersaFrame without the holes in it.

Re: FRC pocketing
Coast Aluminum will sell you that... for a much better price.

Re: FRC pocketing
Absolutely! Without the holes, there are a great number of suppliers available, many at a much lower cost. The value added of VersaFrame is in the pre-drilled holes, which should improve consistency between our practice and competition robots.

Re: FRC pocketing
I assume you are talking about the outside dimensions, and not the 0.100" thickness.

Re: FRC pocketing
With 0.1 or 0.040 wall thickness?

We pretty much used all 1/8th 2" x 1" on our drive train though and used the hole saws to take some material out. It's just too convenient for us to go any thinner on the drive since we can press bearings in as needed and not really need to worry about adding extra material. Quote:
