If you are testing blade stock. you should not need to drill anything. However if you want to test larger parts. Its necessary. Otherwise. I very solid table or base to set the tester on should be all ya need for testing flat stock. I dont have this exact tester. But I do have one similar and...

Dang Ed. That thing is going to be EPIC! Thanks for sharing the images and give such good explanation of the process so far. If I were a betting man. I would have to put my money on "Ed for the win"
