10.54 pm, great video, yes there are nay sayers and machinists who don't think you should use a bore head in a drill press, but I say use what you got! I am gonna figure a way to bolt a strong miniature drill press on top of an engine block and bore it at home.
nice job. ill be doing the same thing with my drill press soon. i don't have deep pockets so for us farm boys will have to do. its nice to know the ingenuity will work...
I wonder how it would do it you had two bars with a bit on each side. I would expect it to balance out the boring head more, and create less chatter. That may not be possible with that type of boring head... I need to make one!
I believe the chatter is created by the slop in the bearings. Milling machines have bigger and more robust bearings with much tighter tolerances. They also have much more weight to keep it stable. They are also pricier and hard to move around.
It is a Shars Morse taper adapter with tang and 1 1/2 18 threads. It would depend on the model boring head and the size/style of the drill press. They were made with Morse taper 2 or 3 with or without tang.
@@Dutchtheyooper thanks for the response. I have seen these boring heads come with a MT2 and was hoping I'd be able to set it into my drill press and not have it fall out while cutting. Thanks again
@@Dutchtheyooper yeah, in a perfect world, you could go down to a used machinist tool store, get on a rent to own program for a mill and have it delivered and set up where you need it. Until either that happens or I come across enough money and moving capability to obtain a mill and lathe, it's the MacGyver route for me.
Mate, .007" to .012" is way too much interference! You'll have fun trying to press that bush in that hole... but you've undoubtably found that out by now, and if you did manage to get it in i'm guessing the shaft didn't fit because the bore of the bush closed up too much...that is unless the shaft has a lot of wear! General rule of thumb is .001" per inch of diameter for an interference fit. But good on you for having a crack with the equipment you have...you're on the right path.
Yup... I'll see if this'll work for an engine. Idk if it'd work and I'm trying to nickle and dime my project into life so this video seemed like some more confidence. Lol the one auto machine shop said their bore tool didnt go small enough.
Thank you for this video! I also am going to try my luck with a boring head on a drill press.

Nice Job, gotta do what you gotta do !!
new subscriber here, cheers from Florida, Paul
If it works go for it boss...good idea !

We do with what we have at hand.
If it works it’s not always wrong
What kind of shaft do you have between the boring head and the drill press chuck? Thanks for the video, Dutch.

Wanting to do this due to same reason(lack of end mill). Did you have any problems with the boring head falling out once you started cutting?
Not with this job but using an end mill in the chuck I did. Most annoying.

@@jeremycrisp4488 The main thing to remember is to avoid chatter.

New bushing in no problem new pin in no problem works great. Thanks for the info.
You can go to your local machine shop and pick up a wore out enco knee mill for next to nothing. I gave $200 for mine.
Have been watching the Bridgeports
