Notes
1. Use lubricating fluid (Relton RapidTap
®
Heavy Duty Cutting Fluid or
equivalent) when drilling and tapping.
2. Drilling and tapping instructions assume metal thickness greater
than
3
/4” (19mm). If the thickness is less, drill all the way through the
metal and tap until cutting complete threads through the other side.
Minimum metal thickness is 0.1875” (5mm), which provides six
thread engagement.
Surface Preparation
1.
See Figure 6-6. At the center of the vertical Microcell mounting location,
drill a
3
/4” (19mm) deep hole with the #29 drill bit. This produces the
template mounting hole.
