Swingup external threading tool
<< < (29/29)
David Kirtley:
The largest bit mine can take is 1/4 in. I was actually switched to using an even smaller bit on the second test. By the time you add on the weight of the swing arm and the lock screws, the weight of the bit doesn't really make that much difference. If it doesn't prove to be enough to overcome friction, you can always add a weight or a spring.

The only thing I can see as a possible point of failure is for reversing with the bit engaged in the work piece and the pressure flaking off a chip of carbide.
