Ever need to do some precision cutting with a hand chisel? This ingenious jig mounts a hand chisel to your drill press and lets you use the quill to advance the chisel in perfectly straight path, and then stop it at a precise point. This can be extremely useful for both joinery and inlay. Nick shows how to use the "drill press chisel mount" to clean out a square mortise and create a groove for wire inlay.
We offer the plans for the Drill Press Chisel Mount at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

My grandfather was a Seabee in WWII and a master craftsman after. He showed me something very similar to your method almost 50 years ago. To simplify matters, I had a machine shop make me a few chisels of various sizes that did not have handles, but instead had 1/2" diameter or smaller shafts a couple of inches long so I could mount them in the chuck of a drill press. I also had a set made for my grandfather who used them quite a bit, and I got that set back upon his demise. I still have both and have used them many times over the last half century.

Thanks for sharing. My very first pass at this jig twenty-some years ago was to braise an old mortising chisel to a 1/2" shank, then re-temper the chisel. Not as sophisticated as your design, but along the same lines.

@@WorkshopCompanion I know carpentry, not cabinetry and other fine woodworking like you do, but I have been a motorhead since JFK was President, so knew and still know folks with machine shops who have done considerable metal work for me. That's why I defaulted to having one of them make the chisels I wanted. Everybody who has ever seen them (a) thought they were miraculous, and (b) wanted to buy a set. It has surprised me that no one has ever produced them for retail sale. Had the idea been patentable, I would have. However, it would not surprise me if a few folks had some made after seeing mine. You might want to see if you can find a machine shop capable of making them for a price that you could sell them at for a reasonable profit without them being too expensive. Me droog that made my sets said they were ridiculously simple and quick to make. Bar stock on a lathe to turn the shank, mill and bevel the flat surfaces, sharpen the cutting edges, and temper to harden. Ta daaa. Keeping the cutting edge on the center line of the shank would prevent most flexing. Given the size of your audience, I'd bet you could sell quite a few. Many folks would just make their own, but they would love you for having shown the idea to them. I Googled "parts of a hand chisel and there seem to be many that could simply be stripped of their handle and ferrule, and shaping the tang on a lathe might be the only alteration required. I'm supposing you encountered a rectangular or square tang when you explored your add-on shaft method. There have to be many brands with a round tang, and making its diameter uniform would take just minutes on a lathe.

Aren't granddads wonderful? I still have several hand planes passed down to me. I do my best to use their strong character as a measuring stick and try to pass on to my grandchildren (28 and growing) the strengths they both had.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzfaq.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

I've had a Shopsmith for 40 years, also I have many of your books... I'm more a fix it, build it, repair it guy with some wood working skills. In my old house I had a pretty good shop, but now I'm in a Shop/Garage atmosphere learning to make it in a smaller space. I use my Power stand more than my Shopsmith mainly bandsaw, Jointer... I got a second hand Rigid Table saw and spent time tuning it up and it works like a charm. I do enjoy your "you tubes" and learn a lot... it's good to now tie your books to a face... keep up the good work!!!

I removed the handle from a chisel with round tang instead of a socket, and then chucked it up in the press. It worked for me. Also, for the cloisenne wire, one could substitute guitar fret wire, which has tangs to grip walls of the groove.

@MrFlint51 Жыл бұрын

Fret wire would give a different result. It would stand proud of the surface because it is T-shaped.

@leighchristopherson2455 Жыл бұрын

Brass shim stock is available in a variety of thicknesses, and widths. None as narrow as the "wire" that he displayed, but if you intend to do a lot of inlay work, a roll might work out cheaper than the wire. You might also be buying a lifetime supply in one stop.
