drill

Hi guys, When I made the GT Knurl I had an idea to make up a Jr Gent using the segmented blank that I left over from the knurl. I cut in half again this blank and turned these around and glue the two halves together, forming a chevron effect on one side and a checkered effect on the other...

OK, I hope some one here can help! I have just tried to drill the cap blank for an OMEGA pen. I started with a 7mm, and then went up the drills until I had done the 25/64". At that point everything is fine. The bottom tube fits a treat, nice and snug and straight. So I move on with a 10mm...

This is the Atlas Pillar Drill I have had sitting on the garage floor ever since I got it from a friend, I paid £30 for it and it also came with a really nice machine vice. I was cleaning it up today and the spring to hold the quill up snapped, I think I put too much pressure on it not knowing...

Quick question peeps :-) I'm think of having a bash at the TM Omegas, but wondered where to get the 15/32" and 25/64" drill bits from (of a decent quality too). They seem to be like hens teeth! Any ideas to save me from hours of googling? Adie

Ive jost posted my first reasonable pen on this forum (many thanks all for your kind words). I really struggled to drill the pen blank centrally through the mid line of the blank. it compromised the final quality of the pen and was very close to having a flat side !. what jigs/methods do any of...

Hi everyone, Just started woodturning, thoroughly enjoying myself. Already made some pens from cheap(ish) kits that have turned out brilliantly. so decided to make some great ones from good kits from TM. Ive bought fountain and rollerball Sedona kits but looking on the website theres no...

what a smashing day, spent it in the shed. I had watched Woody's tutorial on serpentines and had a go at making five (found a good source for .5 ali) Anyway I asked the wife to get me some glue which she dutifully did, couldn't get my normal so got arildite. Blanks cut glued and ready to be...

Does anyone use a keyless chuck on their drill press like the one at the link below? If so, how does it work? Does it stay tight? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to remove the chuck from my drill press? 1/32"-5/8" x JT3 Keyless Drill Chuck | Grizzly Industrial
