Darren, I think Stew means Titanium coated rather than gold. DO WAIT FOR RALPH, I think he can sort your problem of the big holes very easily. Bogs |
| Darren:
Thanks Guys I will wait for Ralph :thumbup: I was going to put this part to one side for now until I had... a, practiced on a scrap b, ordered a step drill or two Be interesting to see what Ralph has in mind :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: |
| Darren:
Ha, found a way to do it and it leaves the neatest and most precise hole you have ever seen.... :ddb: Well, than I have ever seen maybe.... I used the tool I pictured, stuck a 1/2" two flute milling cutter in it and bored a hole. Then advance the boring tool and made the hole bigger, only this time the cutter only used one cutting edge. Worked a treat.. |

Ralph came over today and we had some fun playing about with wiggly things making his garage door motors work, Oh and we talked a little bit too :lol: Nice to meet the ball turner in person :wave: It was good to have some company in the same frame of mind for a change, machining mind that is.... :ddb: Ralph left some stepped cutters behind, so after he had left I gave them a go. Pleased to say they also cut holes very neatly. I'd seen them in Aldi's but thought they were a gimmick, not so it seems. Every bit as good as the milling cutter trick I tried earlier and a bit simpler to operate as well :dremel: They do get a touch long at the bigger diameters though, have to bear that in mind when using a vice esp mine as it's shallow.... Thank you Ralph and good to meet you at last, welcome back anytime :thumbup: |
