I see what you did there...



Seriously though, it seems unusual for the extruded tubing and the plate gussets to have such similar finishes; most use 5052 for gussets. Are the gussets made of 5052 that really looks like that after treating with the scotchbrite pads, or did you use something else?
And...how do you secure the scotchbrite pads to the drill press chuck?

Nice.
I first thought tank drive, but the holes did not line up with my theory.

We used .09" thick 6061 for the gussets. They pretty much blend in when you polish them with Scotch Brite pads haha.

Just google "Scotch Brite circular pads" online. They come with a these circular pads that screw onto a holder that you can use in the drill press. Feel free to PM me for more info.
