I normally don't use that many bits either, ...maybe break one per year. But I got carried away with this.

I may abandon these plates and start again with fresh material, bits, and a new perspective.

I have to figure this out because I have another project where I have first make 6 bends then drill a doz or so small holes thru 1/2" SS 316 tubing ( I am also buying some Al tubing just in case this turns out bad but I would prefer using SS)
