Thanks for the video, some good ideas there, but I would have liked to see you drill all the way through and see where the bit came out.
@dgodrummer81102 жыл бұрын
I like this idea. I believe the tip may still wander even if a small amount using this method. To be even more exact, one could place a second guide block against the 4x4, possibly may need to screw it into end of 4x4 to keep it from moving or somehow clamp or screw to table top.

Hi Al. I have an old "school table" restoration project underway that is going to use barrel nuts and bolts to secure cross braces to the table legs. It will require the drilling of 5 +/- inch long holes in the end grain of the brace and I wasn't sure how to go about doing it. You video was the 1st one to come up when I searched the subject. What a great and simple idea to accomplish the mission. Thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise. 🙂

Hi Al, I found your video extremely useful. For years I have been toying with idea of drilling, burning with a laser, or some other way to bore through the center heartwood of a large green Douglas Fir log in order to relieve the stress and checking of the outer sapwood when it dries. After I get a hole through the center of the log, I will attempt to use a sawblade or other method to saw radial kerfs up into the heartwood to let the log contract naturally, and hopefully smoothly, as it dries. This is an experiment that I have not yet tried, but I've been researching methods like you show here to attack this problem. I really like your technique of redesigning the end of the bit to avoid its digging into the grain as it bores forward. That is something I had not thought of. My latest sketch uses a set of guides, like your small wood block(except made of steel and anchored in a rigid medium, like concrete) to hold my 'drill string' as I call it. I plan to mount the bit into a long rigid steel pipe that can be aligned perfectly with the pith of the log and kept that way. My new trick that I came up with recently is to have the outside diameter of the steel support sleeve be the same diameter as the bit at its boring end. In this way I can bore a short way into the log, remove the drill string and bit to clear the shavings, then re-insert the drill string and continue boring deep into the log. By making the sleeve the size of the bit, it will be held rigid by the hole in the log that is the same diameter as the sleeve. It will also be held rigid by the guide anchors on the anterior end of the device. What you demonstrated in the video is exactly the procedure that I came up with for my experiment....just on a smaller scale. If my trick is successful, I believe it will be of great utility to timber framers who wish to eliminate unsightly cracks/checks in their visible posts and beams. Most of them will tell you to 'just learn to love those cracks because they don't decrease the functionality of the wood', but I still want my timbers to look like they came out of grandpa's homestead cabin with not a blemish on them! --John in the great northwest USA

Hello, I have 2 questions for your, if you are si kind to answer me: 1) is it a Wood Installer Bit or it’s rather a Construction Installer Bit? In construction you could find steel bars into concrete. 2) Do you think those bits and method could be used on high density hard wood blocks such us Granadillo, Rosewood, Cocobolo wood for a 40 to 50 cm long straight hole? Thank you very much. Your video is very useful to me.
