I've always wondered if a worn out lathe would be good for this, install a clamp in the steady rest and the use the chuck to twist your piece. Once the bedways are worn on a lathe they're pretty much worthless, they're not accurate anymore. You could probably get one really cheap.

Yes, Rick and I discussed that as well. Honestly though, if you have kiss blocks for your press, I would suggest just doing specifically sized collets like I did for the headstock and have something you can slide them into. It's much easier and quicker to just slide the steel into the tailstock collet and then slide the whole tailstock (with steel) into the head stock. You just need to align the headstock. That would be the fastest.

I may make one soon as I’m done with my press!

The handheld pipe threader is too slow. You'd be here for many heats. It has more torque than the right angle drill but it takes forever. The right angle drill can handle 3/4" twisting which is find for most uses.

Nice build! I tried one of those from HF a few months ago and it broke something in the machine internally so I took it back. I might not have had my steel hot enough in hindsight. Hang on to that receipt and the extended warranty might be a good option since it is not designed for twisting steel.

Very cool tool!! On the topic of twisting: Is it possible to twist copper damascus, if the copper is completely surrounded by damascus steel?

@TyrellKnifeworks

No, it will shear apart if you do this. The copper bond is a brazing bond and can't withstand any lateral stress like a twist would impart. Not to mention, you'd have copper on the edge if you just used that for a knife. Thanks for watching.

That certainly is a possible design. Rick has his horizontal. It's a more complicated build, since that drill is very heavy, you need a bracket to hold it up. The foot pedal is a great addition because you have both hands free, so I would recommend it as I have it with the addition of the foot pedal. Thanks for watching, Stephen.

very cool! What are your thoughts on just using your press as the clamp and using the rig off of it? eliminates some complications with releasing a hot piece of steel that in this design drops out of the super hog.
