Drilling Pin Block/Ron/Fun

[Farrell]

Wow - hovercraft! What'll they think of next?! This is awesome. Does it seem as though it had to be fairly well balanced to have the hovercraft levitation function well? At what psi does levitation occur? 

I see you have a radial drill press. In your opinion, what advantage(s) does the radial press offer over a conventional press in this application? What size is your press (hp or whatever)? Thanks.
