Too much unscrewing, though you could "flux cut" the stainless using your torch by holding some carbon steel wire or welding rod between the flame and the stainless. It's the way industrial scarfing torches work.
Political power always and without exception flows from the barrel of a gun. If you want to liberate people you must help them overthrow and kill their oppressors.
That can be awkward so it doesn't happen very often.
Lubrication is necessary or this will gobble drill bits. A manual pump or squirt can and a drip tray for recycling would be good additions.
Waste oil is acceptable drilling lube, been there/done that, but it pollutes. Castor oil was used in racing long ago (the name "Castrol" is famous!) and it or similar oils could work in a pinch. They gum up though.
The holes could be through-drilled with two drills at 90 degrees to each other, hand-fed by individual rack-and-pinion mechanisms (see Hougen drills for examples). You'd have choice of electric or air motors. Make the "motor mounts" quick-change and you could drop in two drill bushings and use electric, pneumatic or even MANUAL hand drills. Wanna drill tough stuff slowly but without electricity? Make Cole drills! Google for pics. Feed tubing until it hits a stop (a simple hinged stop you can flip out of the way, you'll only need it once per "stick") drill one hole, then the other. This is a quickie off the top of my head so bear with me. A manual step-feed could be made to function like a bolt action rifle bolt with a dowel pin or stud to engage the holes. Once the initial holes were drilled, the "bolt" could be cranked and shoved forward 1.5 inches or whatever you wish. Drill the next holes, crank bolt down, pull back, crank bolt up to capture next hole, shove bolt forward. Call it the "Mauser feed".:)
Two pieces of angle iron (one before, one after the drilling machine) would hold the workpiece. Face the Vee of the angle up.
Level the trays with tripod stands. Copy common welding stands like the basic Sumner but simplify them. Telescoping straight or round (doesn't matter) tubes with a tack-welded nut and a bolt as a setscrew would be fine.
Some local islands of stability can produce and repair machinery. The solutions can go together. Basic and advanced metalworking is critical to building even "semi-modern" farm equipment like all the horse/ox/donkey-drawn gear used in the US not so long ago.
Equipment to PRODUCE calcium carbide should be added, because its THE useful portable heating and cutting fuel that kickstarted the modern industrial age and allowed the move from forge welding and riveting to gas welding and brazing. Acetylene gas generators to produce acetylene from carbide are already common in developing nations
It's the only useful treatment for mental illness and unlike your boring paranoid "caps free" rants would actually accomplish something.

That's why brighter folk who want to do well have moved into business where they can milk the masses.
The US is a Hellmouth, and living well is the best revenge. The scary fact is that the utter contempt our masters hold for most of the public is completely justified.

The environment of the time was demanding. He would be wonderfully equipped to LEARN how to use computers because he would know how to communicate, and how to learn how to communicate.
The Soviet were NOT strategically defeated in battle.
They left A-stan because it was not worth staying, and the government they began lasted a couple of years afterward. The A-stan casualty levels were quite tolerable, but as with the British and US, "trying to hustle the East" is a fool's errand.
It isn't bigoted to point out that the former Soviet Union dissolved and that Russia still has a similar set of masters with zero hope for meaningful change.
Nazi Germany was defeated in battle. The Soviets merely "right-sized" after their economy shat the bed.

You are right, and with that formula it should succeed brilliantly!

Modern battlefields are saturated with RF. If required for stealth ops in nation-state war equipment can be turned off.
In non-nation-state war ease of communication and the very short value of most data make convenient comms useful.

Drill through the aluminum casting instead of the stainless plate. Less work, less bit wear.

It must be easy to level both the machine and the "trays".
If you are building to specific plans, you could save work by drilling "clusters" or patterns of holes so the erector has some range to play with.
Kalashnikovs and RPGs are already made in simple machine shops.
If we actually gave a fuck about the folks in Darfur etc, we'd arm them decisively and the Janjaweed would be dead on the spot.
That's too controversial so we protract their agony instead.
