I m not sure where to start with the badness, but I ll have a go.
If they ve gutted a working Wolf drill to make this monstrosity it is, if not a hanging offence, at least worth some sharp words from the bench.
If the drill was unrepairable (unlikely - they were were built to last) the stand would still be be useful - it looks well made.
Even as a piece of retro-industrial art it s a piece of dritt, as they might say in Norway. I don t want to use inappropriate English language and be censored.
The shop was closed when I passed so I couldn t ask what they wanted. I ll be down the town tomorrow and inquire, if it hasn t been snapped up.
I ve been asked to make a spindle with an internal MT1 taper. I m pretty sure that I can do it, at last resort by trial and and error with a slender boring tool, but it s a challenge because MT1 is only ~ 9.4 mm at the thin end and about 54mm deep. It d take a long time and much blue (Stuarts and language) I expect.
Looking for an alternative approach I came across these reamers:
The top one is roughing and the other finishing. But I don t know how they are meant to be used. Could I get away with step drilling or boring, then use the rougher to take off the corners and finish with the other? They are cheap Oriental offerings made from carbon, not HS, steel, but it s a one-off in EN1A so maybe it could work.
