Hmmm, don't know why it would be disabled, Lappe Mountain Living is the YouTube channel.

Link to a video of a guy that sharpens endmills, reamers etc. with a tool & cutter grinder. Guy has some nice tools, knows how to use them and is pretty good at explaining what and why he's doing things ! Several good videos from this guy.

Follow-up for those that took an interest / commented; Chatted this past week with my mentor / deep hole driller with decades more experience than me. I mentioned .0002 per rev feed and that it took me ~ an hour to drill a 28.5" deep hole. His response: way too slow, he would do that in about 20...

I've had some come in the mail, some were mailed from an address within Canada, some were delivered by what appeared to be a private individual driving their own private vehicle. Some sellers seem to have drop locations in Canada ? I don't know.

I use # 21 and #29 drill bits fairly frequently, ones I had were getting kind of long in the tooth and too small for me to re-sharpen. Recently bought 12 packs of both in cobalt from Amazon. About $19 and $24 respectively, delivered to my door.

Yes, there is an in-line relief valve, set @ 1600 ~ 2000 psi (Princess auto analog setting with no gauge on it, so no easy way to check it.). I "think" I would see it as a reduction in flow across the window on top of the chip box (picture). At full flow, it spreads out and pretty much covers...

Thanks for your response. As of today, I've removed the spin on filter, cut it apart and spread out the paper guts -- quite a lot of "fines" trapped in the paper. Spun on a new filter, soon, I'll try it again. I like the fan idea, just don't have one to put on it at the moment, have to pick one...

Thanks for your responses and suggestions. I hesitate to start / stop for fear of affecting the accuracy of the hole but I do see your reasoning - might be worth trying, even if I do lose a piece of material. Baffle, no there's not one. Made my own tank, didn't think of it at the time but did...

Yes, makes sense. I can't help but think I just need a bigger tank / reservoir. I have a friend that has a Pratt & Whitney deep hole drill (Industrial / production model), his tank is 45 gallons, he has no heat or foam problems. Trouble is; a 45 gallon drum of that oil is $$ -- but foam in the...

Tool is power fed just like power feed on a lathe. Work piece spun @ 2000 ~ 2500 RPM, feed @ ~ .0002 per rev. Couple pics attached of deep hole drill and my setup. Deep hole drills are quite a bit different from a standard twist drill .. only one flute, point is off-center by 25% of diameter...
