<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Ron Nossaman has a floating rig - I hear rumors =
that he
will be demonstrating it at an upcoming PTG convention - KC, if I am =
correct.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Below is a picture of my overhead drill press. =
It is
suspended from two tracks providing it with about 10 feet of travel in =
one
direction, and 18 inches in the other (X, Y). The drill swivels 360 =
degrees and
tilts up to 30 degrees or so. It is very stable and works quite well. =
It's real
handy when you want to drill a hundred-plus holes in the plate, all at =
the exact
same orientation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One thing I like about this rig is that you have =
complete
freedom to drill anywhere you want on a piano - you don't have to rig up =
some
kind of a platform mount every time you want to drill (although, no =
doubt, that
may not pose much of an obstacle for those accustomed to such a rig).

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have gobs of pictures that show all the =
details of the
design available to anyone interested.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">A couple or so people posted remarks =
and
pictures about the rigs they used for pinblock drilling. I have =
scoured the
archives and cannot seem to find any of those posts. The discussion =
took place
less than one year ago. Can someone help me with this (perhaps those =
who
posted). I remember one rig was touted to be a floating (?) setup.... =
Any help
will be appreciated... Thanks very much.</DIV>
