If I were faced with the prospect of working Wenge for months on end, piece after piece, then I think I would definitely want to search a little harder to find the right drill.<br /><br />I'm interested to see how your ideas pan out.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-58999659313655020872010-01-30T17:46:40.697-05:002010-01-30T17:46:40.697-05:00chris,
i've been thinking about the problem of...chris,<br />i've been thinking about the problem of drilling wenge and wonder if a different drill would help. What I'm thinking of would be a parabolic drill to improve chip ejection. A cobalt version might be even better to prolong cutting edge life. Also i've experienced that proper rpm and feed rate makes a huge difference on drilling performance.<br />Another idea would be to put a small "flat" on the cutting edge similar to what is done for drilling non-ferrous, basically creating a scraping action.<br />I have a scrap of wenge that I might try these ideas out when I get a chance.<br /><br />jeffUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412415011988143193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-65495555451293295942010-01-01T15:22:24.876-05:002010-01-01T15:22:24.876-05:00Very nice work, Chris.

A shame since it somewhat prohibits the use of hand tools.Premodern Blokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341688338690161075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-75269419337654077632009-12-29T07:37:12.936-05:002009-12-29T07:37:12.936-05:00And your kind words are always appreciated by me D...And your kind words are always appreciated by me Dale!<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.com
