I know, it's not specifically related to the rack cooling project, but after begging the wife for years for a drill press, I was finally able to get one 





I have spent the last couple weeks building and calibrating the drill press but should be able to get back to building the rack shortly. This will help to make short work of any further drilling or milling needed.

Next up for the 19" rack project is:

• Remove all the modules from the rack
• Install the upper perf side panels to both sides and checking the measurements
• Measure, cut and install the lower perf side panels
• Remove all the segments from modules
• Mill out additional slop for some of the countersink holes on the mounts (some are too close to fit with the insulator in place or would allow the screw to touch the side)
• Expand the ID of the remaining radiator-facing insulating washers
• Cut and drill the pump mounts
• Test fit all the pumps on the pump mounts
• Finish and clean the mounts
• Re-assemble everything with the washers+insulators in place and confirm the radiator segments are electrically isolated
• Leak check the modules
