I use a a gundrill to bore the blanks for my flutes.The gundrill has a point on just like a regular drill...pointed. On this particular flute I am making I cant drill the inside completely through because I need to leave a plug inside at a certain place ....I usually drill from one end to desired spot,flip the blank over and drill from that end to the desired spot and in this process I leave a 1/2" plug with the pointed profile from the bit in both sides in the plug.
I really would like to leave the plug flat on both sides like if I had drilled it with a forstner bit....The 3/4" is the only one I have an issue with because I can't use an extension because the extension part that holds the forstner bit is too big...
I forgot this...The longest I would have to reach inside is 18" or so inches....I have been leaving the plug a little thicker but rather not..
Some guys drill all the way through and then slid a plug in place but I know at some point I would bust a blank if the plug didnt cooperate.....Hope ya can follow all this!!!! So how can I just clean up the last little bit on a 3/4" plug that is 18" inside of a tube?
Thanks!
