I have asked this question of Darrell Feltmate also and I am sure that
I will get good info from him, but I thought I would see what other

I want to make some of my own tools. I have found an easy source for

would be great.

Another question, I have not yet seen any of these athat are home

for the bits. The bits are square stock and the shafts are round. Got
any ideas of how to get a square hole in a round bar?Thanks

I'm sure you don't plan to make the shaft out of tool steel. I used a
piece of round steel bought at Lowe's. I believe it is 3/4 diam. Had
a friend with a metal lathe to drill a hole in the end that the bits
would slip into. drilled and tapped two side holes for hex set screws
to hold the bit in place. The shaft is about a foot long and the other
end slips into a piece of pipe with two set screws to hold the shaft
in place.

You are correct, I don't really want tool steel but I wasn't sure what
to call it. Now that I look back, it is "Cold Rolled Steel" that is
used on the Oland toolds and on Darrell site.

Of course, now the question is, what the h*ll is cold rolled steel?

Hello Neil,

The shafts for the tools do not need to be tool steel if you are
inserting a tool bit into them. I've use cold rolled steel from the
hardware store for the shafts of tools. The tool bits you can purchase
from many sources, MSC and Enco are two that I use.

Concerning your second question. Measure the square tool bit across
the diagonals and drill a hole that the bit will just pass through.
Then drill and tap a hole for a set screw that intercepts the hole at
its center. Once the set screw is tightened, the square tool bit is
held firmly in the round hole. I generally drilled two intersecting
holes in the end of the shaft one on the center line of the shaft and
one at 45 degrees. Where those two holes intersect is the place to
drill your hole for the set screw. This enables you to use on shaft
for straight cuts and also for expanded cuts when hollowing.

Good luck with your tool making.

Fred Holder
http://www.fholder.com

In a dim and distant past as a toolmaker I learned of a bewildering
variety of steels. Each was suited to a more or less range of
purposes. Some of the steels were suited to high impact work, others
to a more sedate work. They could be classified as tool steels and
then hot rolled or cold rolled. Cold rolled, as the name implies, is
worked by the manufacturer to its dimensions while the steel was
cold. Hot rolled, yeah, you guessed it, while the steel was hot. Hot
rolled is a bit softer and bends easier than cold rolled. Cold
rolled, to my experience, has a nicer finish.
As to where you can get it, I get mine (cold rolled) at the local
hardware store. Gerald's jamming the tool into a piece of pipe is
also a good way of attaching the tool to the shaft.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can also drill holes at both ends of the shaft, doubling the number of
choices on diameter and angle.

People have discussed the difference between hot and col rolled mostly in
terms of manufacture. In terms of use: cold rolled is smooth and
shiny--hot rolled is dark and scaly. This could make a tiny difference in
how the tool slides aross the tool rest. Hot rolled is cheaper. Cold
rolled is a little stronger because the rolling work-hardens it. All these
differences are trivial for your application. Buy whichever one you find
first.

Neil
I may as well answer here as there :-) Cold rolled steel is a low carbon
steel formed while still cold. It is hard enough for tool shafts and the
like but will not temper because of the low or virtually non-existent carbon
content. This means that it will drill and tap easily. A round hole holds a
square bit easily once the set screw presses on one side. There is no need
to square the hole before inserting the bit. I like to keep things simple.

You can go to an industrial metal supply house and buy a short length of
schedule 80 pipe. Schedule 80 pipe is typically used for steam lines.
The pipe can be cut to whatever length handle you want.

There are pipe sizes available to hold 3/16", 1/4" and other standard tool
bit sizes.

William,
Did some Google homework. Still, I seem to have only found machine broaching
and it seemed from your answer that this was something we could do in a home
shop. Do you use a hammer/chiseling action or even a rotary hammer like SDS
bit?
Can't seem to find explanations for someone who's ignorant of the process
entirely

Lots of good comments on this thread, so far. Broaching is a good idea
for this application, but the broaches you probably saw require a
through hole and need to be pushed through the round hole with something
like an arbor press.
Here's my suggestion: Go ahead and drill the hole in the end of
the hot-or cold rolled mild steel bar..... But drill it about 1/64 or
1/32" smaller than the diagonal of the bit you are going to use. (I
assume you are going to use square HSS tool bits, or carbide brazed onto
square tool bits). Oil the hole. Take a brand new unsharpened tool bit
with a squared-up end and drive it into the drilled hole a little way.
Use vise grips to pull it out, pick out the shavings, then drive it a
little deeper, etc.. You are broaching the hole. You don't need to
totally square the hole, you are just broaching the edges to help hold
the tool bit in place. You'd still use set screws. Maybe a bit of
overkill, but this method positively locates the tool bit, since it
would be hard to drill a hole that fits the bit perfectly. This way,
any vibration created won't chew up the periphery of the round hole.

I use an arbor press on a small broach - they are cheap for the size you

It's just plain low-to-medium carbon steel that has been formed cold.
No need to worry too much about that, or even what it means, really-
it's commonly availible at just about any hardware store. The ends
should be color-coded, but it they're not, the cold-rolled bars should
be smooth, while hot-rolled is a little rough, and usually still has
some scale on it.

As far as the square hole goes, broaching is a fine idea, but it might
be more than you care to invest in. (To be honest, I've only done it
with a machine, and don't know if a guy can do it by hand or not.)
I've got the same project on my to do list, and my plan is to drill a
hole in the end of the bar whose diameter is the same as the width of
the tool bits I've got for that project, and then heat the end of the
bar in my forge and hammer a blank toolbit into the hole to make it
square.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you don't have a
forge handy, but we're not talking about a major blacksmithing job
here- there's a good chance that you'll be able to get it hot enough
to do the job with a hand-held propane torch, or even a charcoal grill
with a blower of some sort rigged up to get extra air into the coals.
You'll want the bar to be cherry-red, and the tool bit to be room
temperature.

If you do that, make sure to yank out the bit before the metal cools,
or it'll get stuck. If it does get stuck, heat it up again and pull
it out. Probably won't be easy to remove, but chances are it won't be
the hardest thing you've ever done, either, and you'll have a nice
square hole to show off- then you can just drill and tap a couple of
holes from the side, and hold your bits in place with a couple of set
screws.

Think of a hack saw or reciprocating saw blade. It's similar to that,
only wider. You push it in, and it cuts and pulls out the shavings as
you pull it out. I suspect hammering and chiseling would be very bad
for the tool- most of the broaching I've seen is done at a fairly slow
speed. The tool is very hard, and as metal gets harder, it tends to
become more brittle and can't take impacts very well. The arbor press
is a pretty good idea, but it's still probably more than you really
need if you're just making one or two of these.

If you're willing to invest some extra time and elbow-grease, you
could always file the corners out as well, though I can't think of too
many people with the time or patience for that.

Neil..
I make my Oland tools out of bolts... mostly mild steel as it's easy to drill.

I pick a bolt of a comfortable length and cut off the head, then put it on the
drill dress and drill the main hole... I think I was using a 5/16 bit...
The 1/4" tool bit snugs up just fine in the round hole and the flats of the bit
allow good locking with the set screw..

Also drill the set screw hole on the DP, size depending on set screw/tap size..

After drilling, I grind the end with the hole a little to give it some shape and
thin the diameter a bit so it works better on the tool rest..

My last step is to turn a simple handle, drill a hole in it slightly smaller
than the bolt and thread the bolt into the handle...
I usually smear a little epoxy on the threads first, but it's probably not
needed.. YMWV

Hi Prometheus
Home shop square hole broaching is done quite easily.
Drill a hole the same size or slightly larger (like 1/32")
Grind the end of a same size tool bit square, and position and strike
the bid with a brass hammer, knock the bid back out with a brass rod,
and use a square file to remove the bur in the hole, don't try to
drive the bit all the way through, just repeat the short amount of
broaching, and filing the burr, if you use cutting oil it will help
with the broaching, but clean the oil out before filing.

Have fun and take care

I believe you there- the bit I missed was using a brass hammer. I was
more giving a safety warning about wacking a toolbit with a regular
hammer.

The technique is a new one on me, but I'm sure I'll be trying it out
myself.
