Drilling an Orifice on the Lathe

[starksbull]

Kindergarten oder was, ist ja sicher ein super genaues Loch, und wenn der Bohrer bricht ist die Hand im 3 Backen Futter, super Video.

Solche Leute sollten nicht an solche Maschinen

smart

[derflamy]

hat der typ keine pinole mit spannfutter oder was?

was das fürn horst ey

[TheAussiNut]

thats a top tip m8 cheers, not that id have to use it but still good to know lol

[gfphoto1234]

Very cool. And very well explained. I'm looking forward to trying it. Thanks!

another trick i've seen with drilling brass is to sharpen one cutting face of the bit longer than the other.  this drills a hole with diameter larger than that of the bit, reducing surface contact / friction between bit and material

[albanianhub]

pack drilling is used so the drill woudnt break cose of the chips

[nodrog798]

Excellent instructive video.Works a treat.

Thanks a lot.

I have a little lathe too, but it uses rubber belts that are long gone so i´ve used gaskets and o-rings as belts, it also have a way underpowered motor :(

Very interesting - but scary, I'm not going to tell you it's unsafe to be that close to such a fast spinning chuck but I'd advise people to PAY ATTENTION if they're going to give this technique a try. Roll up your sleeves, wear eye protection and take it easy.

theres a sensiteve drilling att. for the sherline lathe in the catalog, is that good for this?

[Axbent]

this is the way watchmakers make small holes!

[haxanthrobo]

please at least use a draw in collet if you are getting this close to the work!

a three jaw will eventually bite you!!

a lever feed tailstock is an easy mod and will serve you well in such a case.

very helpful

I have just tried this on my wood lathe with a small piece of very hard wood. It worked like a charm! I'm not a machinist and don't have a metal lathe. I've been looking for a technique like this for a long time.

Thanks!

[TheLightningStalker]

Awesome demo. Nice work.

[gfphoto1234]

Very nice.

ive used a lathe b4, what he is doing is not very save theres a reason for drill mounts.  Thats how ppl loose fingers or what have you

[NortHeed]

This lathe looks like a small one, so I dont think it is so dangerous.

[JTMarlin8]

It would be safer if he used a collet chuck rather than a 3-jaw.

[Spinnygrass]

This was very informative! Thank you! I have been getting into lathe working, and am always looking at different techniques.

One of my own projects I want to try soon is making a pneumatic valve for a paintball marker.

should read what I am typing, sorry for the misspelled words and thank you for the great video.

[joesmachine]

that is a good way to do it if you don't care about what the ends up atm, it will be oversive at the entry, if you don't want a taper you can buy (about $90.00)a hand fed chuck, same pricipal but it holds it dead on center, it holds up to 1mm drills, works in any lathe, mill or even drill press as the chuck works moving or stationary, the smallest hole I ever drilled was .004 and it was the only was it would work, so small you can't see the flutes

[OLDMAN1337]

you sure know how to drill an orifice

jamamma would be proud.... ORIFICE! ORIFICE!

[rmsflorida]

Thanks for the video on drilling small holes.. ....very helpful.

nice

thats one heck of a small carb

[mowerofdoom]

Very useful. Thanks. This will save me a lot of drill bits!

[aztecmixtli12]

U forgot to tell every body to use the right rpms,if they do not have the right equipment they will be drilling sideways or not at all.

[amen23motor]

watch the fingers there mate ....

[motorrad1527]

incredible!

[spikeyken]

Your hands are steadier than mine! Nice work!

[swat253]

Niiiiiiice! Very educational video!

[Dave51262]
