I was wondering if anyone has ever tried drilling their blanks with a gun drill (it would have to be on a lathe naturaly)?
I've drilled tens of thousand of holes in a gamit of metals with gun drills they don't get chip bound due to the straight flute, cut straight (stronger) I was just wondering if they would work for driling blanks, you could drill the complete length of the blank then cut it instead of cutting in two then drilling.
Just pondering. :biggrin: slow day at work.
