I've read of a few here that drill their blanks with the lathe using either a collet chuck on round blanks or using a 4-jaw with pin jaws.
What chuck and jaw do you use? Someone here posted a pic a while back of this setup, such a pic would be nice.
When drilling, does the tailstock crank move the drill bit in and out fast enough to keep from burning up/splitting acrylic blanks?
Any advice is helpful!
I will be leaving a cabinet shop soon to move to another city and don't know if I'll have access to a nice 4" stroke drill press like I do now (gonna drill a PILE of blanks before I move, you betcha)
Thanks,
Matt
