Lot of hate in the comments, pointing out this and that, and “let me show you how to do something I’ve never done”. I appreciate seeing someone try to do this themselves. No one who owns a lathe and proper tooling is watching this for a “how to”, and those of us that don’t have the lathe, tools, knowledge, or money to throw away trying to learn, just watch for entertainment only. Doesn’t matter to me if it “won’t shoot a 2 inch group” I don’t care if it shoots around corners, and the round piles into the ground at 50 yards, he’s trying. Not affecting anyone watching in a negative way. If someone has the thousands of dollars of tools, and only watch one KZfaq video before building a barrel, well, some people don’t need accurate rifles.

Your bit isn't centered. With both bits you can see side pressure and flexing of your bit. Need to center that up.

I would only have prebored the chamber far enough for the pilot on the reamer to engage with the bore, plus as others have said use a small boring bar rather than a two flute drill. You can see in the video the drill, particularly the second one is moving around as it enters, and you can also see the reamer doing so, as the pilot is not engaged in the bore.

I like to use a tool presetter(blue box with a plunger on a tenths dial) to get a refference when manual machining. It give you a perfect 2" refference every time.

Production time is slow the arrow arrow already got ya . Awesome insight I love it. Kidding man definitely going to save money on a single shot 50 barrel now though!

wobblying due to drilling acentrical

@eringame4171 Жыл бұрын

how are you holding those drills bits? you can see a fair amount of deflection as you enter and exit the bore then a significant shift as you rotate it by hand. everything else looked good to go.

That thing on the end of that reamer is a guide put there to avoid the off centre hole you caused by using the drill bit, hence the runout visible when you put the reamer in and the existence of a roughing reamer, which would also have a centre guide. Remember, drill bits like that only self centre when in the hole far enough to have four contact points, the first bit they only have two. An easy way to solve this is to bore the hole accurately deep enough to guide the drill bit on centre. Also, slow down you spindle speed, it's too fast.

Best to round off the corner between the feed chamfer and the chamber wall for reliable feeding

The yaw of the reamer shows me your bore isn’t dialed in

While I have done the same in past as short as that chamber is I would have used a small boring bar. Without a pilot that drill can walk. I have had it happen before. If you are going to use drills try and get a three flute drill or even an end mill.
