    Klutch 3/8 Inch Angle Drill Attachment

    While repurposing an old chest of drawers, the need for tight-quarters,right angle drilling arose. I wanted the ability to use other than hex-shankbits, which narrowed things down to ones with a chuck of some sort. I also wanted to keep the project moving, so local availability was a plus. A...

    Free hand drilling on lathe?

    Sounds crazy to me except I saw a guy on youtube do it on by holding the drill bit with vice grips and hand feeding it into the end of a spindle. He said the rotation will keep the drill centered and he didn't have any problems. My question is, how do you feel about this? The reason I ask, I've...

    Pen blank drilling tip!

    Hi Guys/Gals, Some of you "newbies" may have the problem I've experienced. I have a pen blank vise I use to secure the blank while drilling. My vise has a metal bottom so using wood as a cushion against dulling the drill bit and splintering the pen blank is a must. Finding a piece of wood the...

    Drilling long blanks

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to drill a blank past the limits of your drill press or lathe? My machines can handle 2 1/2" but I need at least 3 1/2" for the blank (woodworker's pencil). Standing in my garage staring at my drill press and waiting for inspiration hasn't seemed to help...

    Drilling advice needed..

    Guys/Gals, I've still not come to terms on how best, and most economically, to drill my pen blanks. What is your tool of choice? Is a quill travel on a drill press of 2 3/8" enough? Besides using a drill press for "drilling" (Ha!), what else could I use it for? Do any of you use the lathe...

    VERITAS Shelf Drilling Jig

    Does anyone have the VERITAS Shelf Drilling Jig? If so, what is your opinion of the jig? Is it worth $180? I am working on my 3rd built in unit and imagine I'll get additional requests, so if it is a good jig I'd think I'll have a need for it in the future. Thanks!
