Got My drill press yesterday so today I started on the holes in the sprockets.
Centering drill.
Pilot drill.
Pilot holes done in all of the sprockets.
Tungsten carbide tipped hole saw. I love them now as they are much faster then a normal bi-metal hole saw.
40x 16mm holes.
Looking good.
Lightened 203g. It was 784g. That's a total of 812g lighter for the 4 sprockets.
Next I will start on the drive sprockets.
