DESCRIPTION
The brand - new Rotur Long Hole Boring Kit is a must - have for anyone looking to create lamp stands or drill out spindle work on a lathe. It comes with essential components like the relevant centres and a 5/16'x 24' Lip and spur boring bit. To use, start the lathe and slowly drill into the workpiece through the tailstock and Hollow rotating centre in small increments until you reach about the halfway point. Then, take out the workpiece, swap the pointed tip on the drive centre with the counterbore piece, and place the drilled hole of the workpiece over the counterbore. Use the centring rod through the tailstock to centre the undrilled end of the workpiece while tightening the tailstock. After that, keep drilling through the rest of the workpiece. This kit includes a Piloted Drive 1 4 Prong, a Hollow Rotating Centre with Centring Rod, and a Lip and Spur Drill Bit – Long Series 5/16 x 24. The 2MT model is designated as LHBKD2.
Using this Rotur Long Hole Boring Kit is easy. First, make sure your lathe is running. Then, slowly start drilling into the workpiece through the tailstock and the Hollow rotating centre. Do it in small steps until you're about halfway through. When you reach that point, take the workpiece out. Swap the pointed tip on the drive centre with the counterbore piece and put the drilled hole of the workpiece over the counterbore. Use the centring rod through the tailstock to get the undrilled end of the workpiece centred and tighten up the tailstock. Then just keep drilling through the rest of the piece. For safety, always wear safety glasses when using this kit. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Also, keep the components clean and lubricated regularly to make sure they work well and last a long time.
