I was hoping I'd overlooked something. An inch and a half Forstner into
a small piece (no two alike so fixturing is 'iffy') might make for an
interesting work holding exercise.

I wanted to avoid that.

What size stuff are you drilling into, Bill?

Small enough to chuck in the lathe, or larger?


mac


A range of about 4" to 6" for use with those tiny little oil lamps.

Ok... too big for the lathe unless you have a real big chuck.. *g*

I usually use the center finder and punch on 'em (you probably have done that
already) and put a bar clamp on them, then clamp the bar clamp to the DP table
with spring clamps..
