I need to cut a square hole through a stainless bolt, using it as a lathe
tool holder.I have drilled bolt no problem with Cobalt drills. Is it now down to a lot of work with taper files or can I BROACH IT? -- posted from http://www.polytechforum.com/metalwo...ar-613582-.htm using PolytechForum's Web, RSS and Social Media Interface to rec.crafts.metalworking and other engineering groups |

It generally needs more clearanaces, slower speeds and heavier cuts. My guess is with a broach made for steel, you are likely to break the broach using it on stainless. You could kludge up an electric discharge machine. Another guy and I did that a long time ago. Just did a search on EDM DIY and found a number of sites with info. Dan |

I have the perfect tool for that, a square drill, but you're using the wrong material. http://tinyurl.com/k45cujk -- "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." --James Madison, Virginia Convention, June 16, 1788 |
