Very cool piece of kit that..

Hey James, great demo. A set is definitely on my priority list.

Thanks for the shout out there mate . That's a neat hole drilling system , that style of tool reminds me of the David Brown floating reamers . Cheers .

When I worked at Gleason Works in Rochester NY we used cutters similar to yours called Kelly Cutters on the turret lathes.There was 2 ruffers And a floating finisher mounted on bars.,that was a long time ago 1965.great videos keep them coming thanks Mike Mcewen

Nice JTK, have not seen the Multi-tool in many years, you are right, not too common. The Maintenance Dept. of a Co. I worked at used it all the time for hogging out bushings, collars, ect. on their 13" SB lathe. The plant manager bought it for them to keep them out of our tool room, and off ourtool room lathes / bothering us. It's a tool even a maintenance person can use lol!

Great tool. Thank you for sharing.

I have had one of these tools for approximately 30 years. Fantastic tool and like James said, you don't have to be a Tom Lipton to use it.

Nice setup for large holes.

Good info thanks.

Very similar to a Davis boring bar. I can see lots of uses for a tool like this. Too bad their value will now skyrocket. :-) lol

To me and my small shop, they are already....sky high! Hoping to get a set soon.

Gotta look into one of those

Check Ebay, they go cheap most of the time

Another relatively unknown tool in the home shop for giving a superior finish can be found in my last video, might be of interest to you. By the by, Kilroy is still visiting and i hand fed him last night for the first time in a week.

Hey, I checked that out. You are correct. What material did you make the roller out of?

James T. Kilroy Jr. The "tyre" was made from a random bit of hardenable alloy steel. As it was an experiment, I wasn't overly concerned and I flame hardened from carrot orange and then tempered to dark straw or thereabouts. whatever steel it is it has stood up well so far. As long as the tyre is harder than the workpiece and has a radius suitable to apply point pressure to deform it should work. I am no expert, I just saw a video by a company called Cogsdill who make various types of burnisher and thought i would give it a go.

James T. Kilroy Jr. indded i did all as part of the experiments, it seems to depend on the original surface finish. With a reasonable finish i was getting perhaps a tenth or two, certainly less than i would have thought. With a rougher finish i would guess the difference would be greater. I would not try to use it to alter a size except perhaps aluminium where you would be swaging it. If and when I make a scissor style, like a knurling tool, I might try more pressure and see if that alters the size more, but seems to work ok with only 10 thou or so infeed for a smooth finish. if you make one i expect you to make a video,to spread the word further. By the way did you like the way I hid the pivot pin?

Interesting...how does it preform in mild steel???

The same as any other drill. The trick is the individual cutting edges are never that long, never more than 1" total. You have to watch your speed as they get bigger, the surface speed goes up quickly.

Something tells me that the price for those on ebay is about to take off

Congrats on helping the spelling champ to fame and fortune. LOL

I want a set😐
