You see me re-purpose an old tool handle as I make a depth drill. A depth drill is used to set the depth to which you want to hollow when turning a bowl, box, or vase.

The “on screen” text was very helpful! I’m going to attempt to make a depth drill this weekend. Amazing skill to have. Thank you!

I watched Richard use this technique for a while and when I made one I made a handle that was slightly triangular to be able to grip it better. Also notched the drill similar to his in roughly 1/2 inch increments

Very nice, a great way to reuse a former handle to a new use.

Certainly a useful tool. I don’t like using a depth hole as the hole sometimes causes me to get a catch, probably don’t go slow enough when approaching centre of bowl. I use a rule and measure depth of cut. Haven’t made a funnel yet with this approach. Thanks for sharing Richard
@eltay3Ай бұрын
Richard’s reasoning is that it helps to know where the shape is going. I have learned to do the same and concur.

You don't go into the details of the drill bit and I assume that a standard HSS metal-working twist drill does the job well enough. Any thoughts, however, about the form of the tip and type of flute, etc? Thank you for your continued encouragement of the art; is another book on the stocks and will you deal with any significant changes of mind you have had over the years?
@RichardRaffanwoodturningАй бұрын
Standard metal-working twist drills do the job, but I also use small gouges as you see in many of the videos. I've never measured the drill bevels, but have used a variety of flutes, all of which work well. I've no more books underway other than a few notes on my life as a turner - few people learning the craft seem to be interested in reading books whilst there's so much information free on KZbin.

@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. KZbin content is, of course, variable in quality, as are books, but the latter are, or should be, edited and reviewed.

It does, but sanding with the grain does a better job.

@RichardRaffanwoodturningАй бұрын
Some epoxy would ensure the drill stays in the handle, and also that the handle gets thrown out when the drill is too short to be useful

As a new turner I have to ask, how is this used? Thank you. David
@STMwoodturningАй бұрын
It's used for drilling out the center of the blank before you hollow it out. Having the center drilled out make judging the hollowing depth much easier. Raffan has many bowl turning videos where he uses this technique.
