Excellent work. A couple things I will add for others who will try to do this- have suction on what you're doing on the lathe when you're grinding you do not want grinding dust or grit on your lathe. Grab the Finish bit close to the tip in aluminum soft jaws to chop off the knob with the grinder, you don't risk distorting it as much or marring the shank. You gave primary relief to it only when cutting the helix behind the cutting edge with the flat endmill, but you left it full diameter when you ground it to size. Ideally you would use a radius bit slightly offset axially to put a very shallow radial relief on that leading edge, only a tiny bit of relief will dramatically lower the heat in cutting, like 0.002" over that distance is enough so that only the very edge is actually touching your work. I would have also used an oven to do the tempering, much more exact results even in the house oven. Otherwise fantastic work I've seen very few people do this type of drill from scratch. You can also get around a lot of things if you slot the tip to take drill tip carbide inserts that you can swap out when they dull. I'm a prototype machinist and ex tool and die maker fwiw. Especially like how you stamped it and then finish ground it- cleaning the raised letters from stamping don't affect the concentricty of the shank. Great work 💪😎

Thank you so much for all the information you shared my friend and I'm so glad you enjoyed it🙏🙏🙏👍💐

Excellent demo of drill making. This is very useful for making the larger drill bits from 25 mm and bigger because the expense of buying a drill bit, is far more than the time it takes to make one. Especially in South Africa where our currency is worth nothing. Doing this with a very high carbon steel would be succesful.

Я думаю это в качестве демонстрации было сделано. Так как стандартные сверла не сложно купить, а вот под разные резьбы к примеру дюймовые, не просто подобрать сверло необходимого диаметра. Хорошая работа, молодец!

Отличный мастер! Отличная работа! И избыток свободного времени...

The spirals coming out of the lathe drilling operation were something else - the biggest string snakes I've seen from any drill bit.

[@Mastermind-]

Do you think this is good or bad?

[@shakdidagalimal]

@@Mastermind- I don't like dull slow drill bits. So in that sense it is excellent. I suppose the drilled hole could possibly be a bit "micro wavy" from the large continuous burrs, if there is a downside. Personally I am very pleased with my metal drilling when I get burr snakes - it goes so quickly and requires so little pressure comparatively. It's just very pleasant compared to the alternative.

Congratulations 💐💐💐💐 To You. You have such great skills. I have nothing to say. Sir I don't even know how to sharpen a Drill Bit more or less make one. I have enjoy watching your videos.

Since it had an oil quench I imagine it was an 01 type oil quenching carbon vanidum chrome nickle phosphate buffered steel, silver steel. Remove the vanchromnickpho part and add in slicia, more and different acids and alloying elements... the Era of Steel is with us still in the current era.

Thank you! Cheers! Which do you say?

[@laszloszell8753]

Nice job, amazing technique! How hard the drill bit? Grinding made a lot of bright sparks,which means could a bit more hardening.

[@Mastermind-]

Thanks, my friend🙏 If it hardens too much, it becomes a little more fragile, especially in the small diameters of the drills

[@laszloszell8753]

@@Mastermind- yes,small drills will brake like glass. But above 10mm not really a problem if a bit harder. You should try freez treatment. Put in dry ice or liquid nitrogen and let cool down. Helps a lot from braking out chips.Call cryogenic threatment.

[@bartmaenhoudt3122]

just an question, how do you manage to obtain 180°for the second spiral ? i'm wondering to make an double thread axle for an Minerva steering house

[@Mastermind-]

Based on the spiral pitch, move it half a step (for 180 degrees) on the horizontal axis

[@bartmaenhoudt3122]

@@Mastermind- that's logic but for aan steering axle you must have an nut and an spiral realy fitting and smooth passing, up and down, so it must be exact, maybe there is an 'lathes engeneerings trick ' for that ?

This is cool, but does the time it took to make this outweigh the cost of just buying a drill?

Yeah I may do the same but with what I think is far easier spotting drills - they are hard to get and center drills are not good at making good starting point for drills - they are for lathe centers.

just because

[@JamesJones-zg4bv]

As a machinist I am impressed by the skill this took but, I'm also confused as to why this is necessary. A custom drill I guess. Watched the video all the way through and I don't understand why someone with this much skill has to make a 10mm drill?

I suppose sometimes you need to use non standard drill sizes and thats when you have to make your own.

what did you do to the lathe so it has such a fast feed rate? btw, you overheat the drill when austenizing way too much for best results (at least it gets white in the vid).
