My father was a Mechanical Engineer & later went into the shop as a Boring Bar Operator, in the Machine Tool Industry. He was also a Diesel Mechanic in the U.S. Coast Guard. Suffice to say, he was well travelled on most things mechanical. In my youth, he shared much of his knowledge, from metallurgy & tinsel strength of metals, to alloys & their various properties. In later years, I went with him to several machine tool shows, where I saw metals cut with EMD, high pressure water/steam, & even laser. I owe him a great deal, for the things he taught me, many of which I use every day. He would have especially loved to see the many things you discussed & demonstrated in this episode. Now in is 80’s, dementia has taken from him most of those memories, and he struggles with the basics. In some ways, this video was a stroll down memory lane, & a reminder of the man to which I owe so much. Tim, thanks for another fine video. :)

Of course, lately it seems as though the majority of civilization flatly refuses to listen to the voices of reason and experience, unfortunately.

I broke nearly every one of those tiny carbide drills initially. I was using a hobby minidrill - the ones based on a 540 motor, the black and decker version of a Dremel - and it turned out that the chuck just isn't concentric enough. I didn't break nearly so many when I used a collet instead. Later, I got an old 'precision drill' : an ancient device, but made to a much higher standard in the '60s. At first, I tried to put a collet chuck on that too, as I thought I'd start breaking drills again. But I couldn't find one to fit, so I used the original tiny Jacobs chuck. It had no problem.

I've been fortunate enough to use a board as a lever to do the same thing, again, strategically placed ratchet straps can provide the force.

Tim, you are a National Treasure. What you presented as a "fly-cutter" is usually known as a boring head (and it takes small boring bars as you showed on your lathe). Setting exact diameters can be done by just making a hole that's undersize, measure that, then adjust the diameter (which can be done very precisely). As usual with precision machining take the last deep cut as two about equal halves, the error on the first half can be compensated on the second half and it will come out almost spot on. .. a fly cutter is a bit different, rotates faster and is used for taking (usually very shallow) large facing cuts, which can give a very fine surface finish
