Thats it Ron, Thanks!
Dan, You need to stop the drap as soon as it starts threading and reverse it back out. It's not a drill press operation, unless you have a break on the drill press. You'd probably be able to use a good 1/2" drill motor. We use 5/16 bolts to fasten the door track to the header, (1/4" thick header material), with a 14 volt Dewalt battery operated drill motor. I strongly supect that 3/8" w/1/2" material will work fine with a quality drill motor.
Pricey yes, but time is money. Usually more then the tools. Just be carefull; their easy to break.
