Hi, do you think the order could be ordered this week? Be great to test out the new morticiser bit.
Mortiser - 8mm bit
Hey, it was delivered this morning.
I think we still need to make a collect for this bit though. I don’t know if we have an imperial size that’ll work with this one.
If we ask the @metaltechs nicely, maybe there’ll help to turn us one from stainless steel.
Can the collet be made from aluminium? I’ve been inducted , with a little help from @metaltechs could we make one?
Is it just a hollow cylinder? Sure, seems to be a great newbie exercise for turning something to dimension.

From what I can tell, yep, a hollowed out cylinder, is there any stock in the metal area we could use to make?
If we have the stock shall we find a date to do it? I’m happy to do it but feel more confident if there’s a @metaltechs on site to check in on.
we would find some stock, when would you prefer to do it?

I see some people talking about measurements and conversions. Just for sake of reference, I made myself a list a long time ago with metric/imperial/fractions/hex/spanner/AWG conversions up to 1 inch. It is all correct to the best of my knowledge. Hope some will find it useful for finding the correct fractions you need.

Do you need to be inducted to use the Mortise Drill Press?
Thanks
