I finally got round to using the real HSS bits I bought for the >Hollowing Rig< I built.
I got two pieces, one 8mm and one 6mm
You can see where I cut the smaller bit off, and sharpened it.
here is the result.
I used it a bit, and it worked quite fine
I decided that I needed to make a straight bar, to further hollow out this bowl.
Boy it is nice to have a real drill press
yes, Kermit took this all in stride, and then some
The boring bar. I do not know if I'm leaving too much of the bit hanging out there or not, but is sure did work well!!
Fun fun fun!!
I guess I need to break out the forge, make a third one and give it a bend or two so I can have a goose neck............. gonna have to get a laser next
Dang that was fun!!
Cheers!
