Controlling heat while drilling

[cpmech425]

I heard about a dry spray that helps with heat buildup while drilling blanks. Anyone know what it is? And where to get it? I drill slow and clear chips often but would like to try this product. Thanks. Brian

Bostik Blade and Drill Lubricant. That is what I use. I still have to clear chips and can't be too agreesive, but I have found this to help. I use it all the time especially on non-woods.

Drill slower .. use compressed air or buy a custom made gun drill bit ...

I use a gun drill when coring long pieces of wood.

You will need a good air compressor with a large tank ...........and a engine style lathe.............

That was the second reference that I have seen this week to an "Engine Style Lathe" What does it mean and how does it differ from the common types of lathes out there?

To me a engine style is metal lathes, and wood lathes are bench lathes .

Engine style of lathes normally are know as a metal lathe like what's in a machine shop .

This link is pretty interesting.

I really have my lathes set up different then most people would think.
I use live cutters allot, sorry to say but I don't make many pens.
Most of my lathes are used for and or was designed to make pool cues and some billiard products.
