Lathe Trepanning - 99.9% Not Brain Surgery
G'day everyone,
As the title suggest, today we will not be delving into the subject of archaic medicine (also called trepanning), but instead we will be looking at a more efficient way of creating large holes in workpieces. I am looking to create a few mounts for some nema 23 stepper motors (for a project that may or may not materialize). The holes I need are roughly 38mm. That is a relatively large hole. A hole saw is not great in steel and boring it to size would take a long time and would waste a lot of steel (although it is the method I was planning on using).
Trepanning seems like a good method to try out here. Trepanning is like parting, expect we are parting on the face of the workpiece. Because the only cut we need to complete is a thin groove, the cut can be done quicker with less material wasted. I will grind up a tool and attempt to cut aluminium and steel.
I also want to take a look at annular cutters for cutting smaller holes, roughly 18 mm and up. I have been recommended them for quite some time and given that I am going to be making a few extra die holders, I though that annular cutters would be the perfect tool for the job. In addition to testing them I will also make up a basic tool holder to use them with. I hope you enjoy the video.

BUILD: A Toolmakers Bench Block (Staking Anvil)

G'day everyone, I have bean meaning to add a bench block to my tooling for years but never got around to doing it. They are generally not expensive, but I never got around to getting one. However I have started to use pins, rivets and peens more often, and I do need to get one. I would like a model that has a hex shape, which would allow me to hold it in my vise, but the mass produced ones do n...
Making A Die Holder.... But Better

Making Worm Gears. Harder Than You Might Think

    You should look into a quality diamond grinding wheel. One of my favorite shop tools is a very expensive eyeglass grinder that was damaged, but the motor and grinder were (and are) still running perfectly. Ideal for tool steel or carbide and it only cost me $30. The motor alone would have been hundreds. Used Lapidary equipment is also great for sharpening.

    okay but you have a spring loaded quill - Why dont you just chuck up a tap and push it into a hole and let the tap do the cutting while the quil gives you spring compensation and just reverse the tap out again - I've done 1000's (litterally) of taped holes that way
