    Another fauxstone drilling attempt ... another problem I need help diagnosing

    *** pictures below *** I just failed at drilling out fauxstone blanks for a majestic pen kit. My strategy was: (a) reinforce the blank with 1/2" poplar (b) drill on the lathe using 8 progressively larger bits. The last four bits were in increments as low as 1/64" I was running the RPM...

    Substitute drill bit sizes

    I am making a pen for a customer that requires 10.5mm and .492" bits. Don't know how I missed it but I don't have those sizes (usually i forget to buy bushings). What I did notice was that the tubes fit in 13/32 and 31/64 inch holes. They are a little snug but can still be inserted with 2...

    Drilling Pen Blanks with a Router Table

    Hi all. I have just started using metric drill bits in a router table to drill pen blanks. = I would recommend this method for WOOD ONLY pen blanks, as the plastic blanks would probably melt from the fast drill. The whole process takes about 15 seconds at 10,000 rpm, the slowest router setting...

    Stick Pen Drill Bits

    I'm looking for drill bits to make a batch of pens with inserts from the cheap BIC ballpoints. Someone suggested I buy #23 or #24 bits, but I have had zero luck finding them. If anyone can point me to a source or recommend a different bit type (Imperial, metric, etc.), I would appreciate it!

    How do you sharpen your drill bits?

    And how often? About a year ago I got a Drill Doctor 500X, and I have to say, once you get the hang of it, it is a very amazing tool! I suppose someone has come up with a jig to do it, or even do it freehand on a grinder. I've done that in the past, and watched a 4 inch bit turn into a 1 inch...
