they also come in a plunge cutting configuration called a Drill/Mill, very handy for plunging in and then milling, or chamfering an edge, but they do not leave a flat bottom.....due to the angle of the flutes on the end.....usually about 90 degree included angle

Thanks for the tip, Matt!:) The following is just a side-note, no fear-mongering, just a little smalltalk out of the engineering pocket:) Use it with your brain and not with your heart:P I think it is not worth mentioning that a drill press is named that way because of a reason and that there is that other mysterious thing one can vaguely imagine by your comment: The Milling Machine. The drill press is built for maximum forces towards the axial force of the drilling mechanism, meaning downwards, you drilling in the workpiece. The milling machine including its tool-holding can handle also radial forces, f.e. those in the X and Y direction of the milling machines table. This different operation area is achieved by a different design, other mounting mechanism and different bearings. You should look up exactly what bearing types your drilling press is equipped with when you are trying to "abuse" it as a milling machine. In doubt: Ask an expert. Or as we Internet-Folk like to say: Who cares? She needs new bearings anyway ... since years! Hehehe Have fun making!:)))

Mike, you're giving away my/our secrets! I use my milling machine for A LOT of woodworking projects. Clamping the workpiece to the table and moving the table in the X & Y axis yields precision cuts every time. You are correct, too, in that a drill press is designed for plunging rather than lateral cutting. The milling machine does both....

Thank you.

hey Mike, one thing to keep in mind -- end mills are generally designed to operate at much higher speed (e.g. 18000 rpm) than a drill press can provide. So while your method does work, it;'s really not ideal. Also, end mills are really designed to do their cutting where either the workpiece or the cutter is moving laterally. Your technique of boring a series of straight-down holes into the workpiece using an end mill means you're probably getting the least possible cutting efficiency you can get from the tool. You are correct, though, that once the holes are bored you can then lower the tool into the space and cut laterally from there. Why not cut the original holes with a brad point (designed for straight-down boring) and then follow up with an end mill to cut laterally to complete the mortise? All the best!

@MikeFarrington

2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question. Couple things, the RPM of an end mill will vary, those that I used in this video were designed to be used on a mill, so under 5k rpm. Other types like a router bit will be over 15k. As to switching bits for efficiency of drilling; I think over all amount of time would be more. The point of this process isn't that it's the best way to do it, it's that is a quick and easy setup for a couple of mortises. If I needed more efficiency, I would use a different tool. Hope that makes sense.

When doing this, you may feel tempted to just move the workpiece to do the bulk cutting, rather than doing the repeated plunges -- after all, that's what an endmill is designed to do. Unfortunately, the drill press isn't, and rigidity isn't the biggest problem. Unlike a mill, the drillpress doesn't have a drawbar to keep the chuck firmly inserted into the machine -- the chuck is typically held in place only by a taper friction fit. The vibrating side loads at that connection may be enough to dislodge the chuck such that it falls out. Possibly damaging the workpiece, or worse. (This has happened to me in a different situation involving side-loading a drill press -- fortunately no injuries.) The approach taken in this video seems reasonable, using plunges for bulk cutting and sideways passes for light cleanup.

@MikeFarrington

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your input. I'm guessing you haven't tried this? I say this because, I am holding the workpiece right at the corner with only my thumb. I don't think the human thumb has the strength to push hard enough to cut a mortise via sliding it from side to side. I totally agree a drill press should not be used for slot cutting, like if someone used a push stick, or a sliding vice.

@manualdidact

Жыл бұрын

@@MikeFarrington The force your thumb applies is not the most significant force the chuck will encounter; it's the momentary peak lateral force as the teeth impact the workpiece, especially in those moments of imperfect engagement (chatter, partial contact, knots and other density variations...), with the rotating mass of the spindle reacting against the mass and inertia of the workpiece. When it happened to me personally, it was a slightly different situation, it was a small metal burr, but the work I was doing was small and the forces were also mainly being applied by my fingers. I've seen it happen to someone else with an endmill in HDPE (community workshop environment), and I've been lucky it hasn't happened to me. I didn't intend to criticise what you were doing, in fact I meant to point out that you were doing it right, but that this is an issue people should know about.

@MikeFarrington

Жыл бұрын

@@manualdidact I very much appreciate your input, however, if there were any momentary peak lateral forces that were measurable they would show up as bobbles on the side of the mortise closest to me. So in other words as the bit dug in and pushed the workpiece tight to the fence, lateral forces would push the the bit away from the fence, this would show up on the wall of the mortise. If the lateral forces were acting in a left to right fashion, my light thumb pressure holding the workpiece in place would be broken. In the video I specifically did not show cutting from side to side for the reasons you have listed.

Thanks, Mike... great tip. I think the secret sauce to your approach is the direct, intuitive layout-to-mortise process. Jigs sometimes require maths (1/2 distance, bushing offsets, etc.) and then on top of that, your cutter is upside-down, and hand-held. This approach takes out the math, and as you stated, gives you more control over the cut. I did tuck away the drill press notes in other comments for protecting bearings, etc., but really this is what end mills are made to do so with knowledge and caution, I'd definitely do this.
