I don't understand where your coming from with this one Alex. If you use the lathe in the correct manner for drilling blanks then the dangers that you mention will have been eliminated. Why is using a Pillar drill for this operation safer than using the lathe ? In the correct manner of course. I believe that it is down to personal preference with this one !

[QUOTE="Vic Perrin, post: 209008, member: 422"] I don't understand where your coming from with this one Alex. If you use the lathe in the correct manner for drilling blanks then the dangers that you mention will have been eliminated. Why is using a Pillar drill for this operation safer than using the lathe ? In the correct manner of course. I believe that it is down to personal preference with this one ! :thinks::thinks::thinks: [/QUOTE]
