Very clever. Imagine workshop drilling templates lasting much, much longer! Sign me up for a both imperial and metric sets! Thanks for the video. Cheers, David
It allows you to drill a hole in the dead center of a larger hole. This is a large one, but a more common use would be if you're trying to attach a hinge to something. The hinge has a hole in it to allow a screw to go through. However, the hole you need to drill (for the screw) is smaller than the hole in the hinge. Using a device like this would let you drill the hole for the screw in the dead center of the hole for the hinge. This allows you to position the hinge where you want, and actually screw it in in the correct place. This is a good example video: ruclips.net/video/qdW3o0P2byw/видео.html
I assume the plexiglas is supposed to simulate a real-life specific application; otherwise, this is not self-centering. Every time you make a hole you have to laminate a piece of plastic? If the plastic moves, you're out of business. You have nice skills, but I am not sold on this tool's universal application.
That the sense. Plastic template with some fence and possible scales can help to aim it on position. Self-centering name is not my idea, many companies made them and call them so. I'd rather call it template drill bit
@@mirockswoodshop If dowelling was the application, aluminium jigs already exist. What practical applications does your tool have? Because I can't think of one. Wouldn't someone just drill the deep hole first and then use a step bit? Your approach appears backward. Plexiglas or lexan tends to slide too eaily and with such a thin material, maintaining a vertical axis (safety) may become compromised. Your video was entertaining nonetheless.
I've never used a self-centering drill bit, but I was reading and watching a bunch about them and landed here... As far as I have seen, the main use of a self-centering drill bit is to use a hole in one item (such as a screw hole in a hinge) to drill a hole in a second item (such as the door for that hinge) so that centers of both holes are aligned with each other (so in the hinge example, a screw holding the hinge to the door would not misalign the hinge and cause problems with the door's movement). This is of course more important when there are multiple holes in each part that need to be aligned to each other. I'm sure there are many other uses you can find or look up with a little bit of effort. The acylic (Plexiglas) nicely simulates that use of the device with a hinge (which is effectively a single-use template assuming it gets installed) or whatever else needs center-aligned holes. Mirock stated at 6:20 that it was just for demonstration of the new bit. There was nothing suggesting something like the acrylic piece would need to be made each time. I agree that if any template moved it would cause problems (definitely relative to other holes in/from the template, and possibly with the hole being drilled becoming sloppy itself), but that is a matter of how the template is mounted and has little to do with the use of the new bit he made. Even if you personally cannot think of a use for it, there was no need to be so dismissive.
@@mirockswoodshop Regarding the name: the device centers the drill tip (for the new hole relative to the existing hole) by 'itself', hence the 'self-centering' name.
Welcome back. One of my favourite channels
Good to see you back again...your videos are a joy to watch!👍
Good to see master Mirock again!
Great to see the master back at work! B)
Now you had me. I just ordered a Miroc 4 set of your rulers. I must admit I‘m hyped.
Thank you!
It must be so frustrating to be able to make EVERYTHING better, but you only have one lifetime!
Excellent! We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Very simple and effective design. Solid.
So far so good! Everything looks so easy when you do it! Bravissimo!!!!
Very good to see another video from you. A nice tool there.
Great to se you back, you are amazing!

Omg, Welcome back bro, great video 💥🔝💥
Awesome as always. Thank you kind Sir.
Very nice work man! Can't wait to get one of your squares
Another masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.
Felicidades saludos desde México 🇲🇽 muy fregonsisimo maestro le quedó muy bien 😊
Исполнение как и всегда на высоте )
Hi, where did you find drill bit with threads?
Hi. FABA bits from Poland
Another great video ;p
mirock my where have you been??? a year of no video
I dont understand what this does... can someone explain?

it isn't home made if you have to use a machinist tool to make it. Even if you have one in your home.
Work perfect ;-)
👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Didn't know they allow porn on RUclips.

@@crapizio As an inventor of tools it's perfectly in my nature to be so dismissive. Take it or leave it.
