    I don't seem to get email alerts to new posts.

    I spoke to a mechanic yesterday when I picked up the vehicle and he suggested a couple of names for used spare parts. After a couple of "no" I found...
  2. Thanks. The Rodeo is made by Isuzu. I think the...

    Thanks. The Rodeo is made by Isuzu. I think the problem is the 23 years age.
  3. Yes, I think it could take a circlip if you mean...

    Yes, I think it could take a circlip if you mean to hold the pin in place with a circlip on the outside – you can see in the first pic how the flanges (for want of a better description) taper in...
  4. Can someone make a pin and sleeve for a car door hinge?

    I have a 2000 Holden Rodeo that has a cracked hinge on the rear passenger door. Took it to a mechanic a year ago who sourced the last one available in Australia (apparently) and he managed to break...
  5. He wanted the batch # (on the shank), but I...

    He wanted the batch # (on the shank), but I agree, I don't think they'll find anything wrong with it. In fact, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, except that it is clearly not designed for...
  6. The local Gühring rep was up this way today, and...

    The local Gühring rep was up this way today, and he called me to ask if he could drop by and pu the 658 10mm bit, to get it tested, so I am no longer in possession of it.
  7. You can better see the shape of the 658 flutes...

    You can better see the shape of the 658 flutes here.
    It has a shallow concave curve away from the leading edge, but rises up to the heel with a flat shape which makes it convex as it rolls over to...
  8. You may well be right Snapey, and does have the...

    You may well be right Snapey, and does have the appearance of a thick web. I'll see if I can get clearer pics of the flutes, which are the most unusual I've seen.
  9. Yes, as I say I'm not suggesting that Heller are...

    Yes, as I say I'm not suggesting that Heller are manufacturing elsewhere, but when one starts to see cheaper prices and poor QC (which is what you seem to have witnessed with your purchase) then it...
  10. Remarkably not - I was pretty quick.

    Remarkably not - I was pretty quick.
  11. One has to be very careful about "Brandname,...

    One has to be very careful about "Brandname, Germany". In my experience it all too often means that a German company (not saying Heller though) can be selling products made "elsewhere" and just...
  12. Agreed, and the pressure I'm using is moderate...

    Agreed, and the pressure I'm using is moderate but adequate.


    What is the country of "manufacture" Baron, and what price were they?

    This 658 Series drill certainly looks and feels the goods...
  13. Drill bit stationary, chuck spinning, and...

    Drill bit stationary, chuck spinning, and squealing.
  14. Perhaps, but I'm getting ok results with the...

    Perhaps, but I'm getting ok results with the other bits, so I must be doing reasonably ok, having learnt a great deal from this thread.

    I spoke to the chap, and he is at a loss to explain it. The...
  15. I was able to pull the bit out the hole easily,...

    I was able to pull the bit out the hole easily, and the chuck is back in place.

    I'm going to draw a line under trying to use this particular bit without a pilot hole - it would have been...
  16. Man Oh man, this is getting comical....almost

    The C Wrench arrived today, but the strap wrench is still in a transit lounge somewhere. I decided to chock the spindle with a screwdriver through the drift slot, but leave the C Wrench out of the...
  17. I'll get back to that very kind offer of yours...

    I'll get back to that very kind offer of yours Snapey....things are a little more pressing ATM. (as you will see in the next post)
  18. A quote from another thread: I'll give that...

    A quote from another thread:


    I'll give that technique a go with this troublesome bit and compare the two experiences.
  19. I think the only thing not rigid is the floor...

    I think the only thing not rigid is the floor (yellowtongue). The DP is also secured to the wall (also not particularly rigid) just below the head. However, I don't think that lack of rigidity is...
  20. It's a Nova Yoyager DP (Nova brand, Voyager...

    It's a Nova Yoyager DP (Nova brand, Voyager model), which is 2HP, MT2. However, I wasn't as clear as I could have been about the stalling – the bit stalls – everything else is still spinning....and...
  21. On the DP. Only talking about the corded Protool...

    On the DP. Only talking about the corded Protool with reference to the keyless chuck that clicks down as it tightens. The new keyless chuck for the DP turns freely until it comes to a sudden stop -...
  22. Finally back in the shed this arvo. Snapey very...

    Finally back in the shed this arvo. Snapey very kindly posted me a 13/32 drill (10.32mm) with his preferred grind. It's a 4 facet grind, but the back facets are very small, compared to say a Sutton...
  23. I wanted to find out some more about the helix...

    I wanted to find out some more about the helix angles, flute profiles of some of the Gühring range of drills, so I went to the German site and started a chat which ended up going to a "Teknik" guy....
  24. Thanks Jekyll. That confirms what I thought may...

    Thanks Jekyll. That confirms what I thought may be the case, so just measure the drill shank. It all depends on how straight the bit is too, as to how much runout there is at the business end.


    ...
  25. So how accurate do you think the gauge is?...

    So how accurate do you think the gauge is? Theoretically, resolution of 0.01mm is 2.5x the res of 0.001 inch (because ~0.040" = 1mm), but the scale is the same size, so I'm struggling with that, and...
  26. Harrrr....yer right! Excluding the postage, this...

    Harrrr....yer right! Excluding the postage, this is a bit cheaper than the 10mm bit was. There are cheaper, and much cheaper ones, but they have an articulated elbow, which is just not rigid enough,...
  27. What runout is acceptable? How many thou?

    Some interesting results.

    The Sandu Keyed chuck has 3½ thou runout, measured on the chuck, and <6 thou measured on the drill shank. I wouldn't think that the extra extension out of the chuck to...
  28. I've got NCArcher's now, so will check out the...

    I've got NCArcher's now, so will check out the old and the new.
  29. The new keyless chuck arrived today, but I...

    The new keyless chuck arrived today, but I haven't installed it yet. * How can I check it for runout - with a dial gauge (can borrow one)?

    I have also just checked to see how square a drill bit is...

    In ~1970 I heard the same story from a senior engineer that worked for ANSTO, but it was sent to Japan with "beat that" and subsequently returned.
  31. So what is the job of a stub drill? The tip...

    So what is the job of a stub drill? The tip angles suggest not for sheet work, but the short flutes suggest not for thicker work. :?

    Not my area, but AFAIK that is the primary intended use of step drills that Bob mentioned:Sydney Tools have 40 , and the Makita's get into sphincter-tightening territory.



    Those grinds of yours...
  33. If it's a 658 then it has a 130° grind, and that...

    If it's a 658 then it has a 130° grind, and that may be what causes the chatter.

    Both my 6mm and 10mm 658 chatter on entry, particularly the 10mm. The reasons I settled on those two were...
  34. Ruko Drills from Germany

    (This post is more for those who may read this thread in the future.)

    Another quality German drill manufacturer has a presence in Australia - Ruko. There are two dealers in Sydney, one in Perth,...
  35. That's a very kind offer – thank you. Tell you...

    That's a very kind offer – thank you. Tell you what, when I send it back to you, I'll send down these two 10mm bits for your perusal and testing.

    Did you reference the Ruko drills because you...
  36. This is the illustration of the Gühring Jobbers....

    This is the illustration of the Gühring Jobbers. My 118° bits are 5523 series (4th from left), and the two 130°TiN drills are the 658 series (6th from the left). All of those Jobbers appear to have...
  37. Ok, I'm just trying to equate your nomenclature...

    Ok, I'm just trying to equate your nomenclature with Ruko's.
    By "web" do you mean what they are calling the core? (three headings below "Cut Chisel Edge")
    By "quick spirals" do you mean what they...
  38. 6mm pilot then 10mm wins hands down.

    I went back to my old P&S POS camera to use the macro facility. I was having some trouble with the focus, but it shouldn't detract from the info.

    Some pics if the bit grinds, 118° M35 6 facet...

    Currently, lots of places for swarf to fly into and create problems.

    399517 399518

    Sawdust collecting in those clamp handle threads is one thing, but metal chips are quite another. Need to...
  41. Yeah, it's a problem using a woodworking space...

    Yeah, it's a problem using a woodworking space for a bit of metalwork. I'll take a pic of that corner to convey the idea - it needs some work to make it more metal drilling friendly.


    2 HP....
  42. It's not what you are saying - clearly you have...

    It's not what you are saying - clearly you have vast experience, and I appreciate that input - but how it's said could possibly be moderated a little.
  43. Are you having a go exclusively at me or at...

    Are you having a go exclusively at me or at anyone in general who has suggested using pilot holes?
  44. So this is the range (exclusively Chinese manu)...

    So this is the range (exclusively Chinese manu) on offer at Bunnings.
    399516

    The one at the top marked $21.75 looks suspiciously like the one you showed. 4-12mm.


    Now Bob, I'm pretty good at...
  45. Virtually nil, which was somewhat surprising....

    Virtually nil, which was somewhat surprising. Just the tiniest bit, which it needs to allow for winding back and forth. 0.25mm?
  46. At the moment there is a lot of chopping and...

    At the moment there is a lot of chopping and changing around, as I try different things. Usually, I would do exactly that: drill the pilot hole, change to the larger bit, enlarge the hole, move on to...
  47. Yes, I did consider that Bob, and will probably...

    Yes, I did consider that Bob, and will probably fool around with it some.
  48. It was a bit of that ↑ but more of this ↓I...

    It was a bit of that ↑ but more of this ↓I drilled two 6mm holes with the bar in this orientation (not those two holes though):
    399506

    One hole was with the usual 6mm TiN 130°, and the other was...
  49. I'll be back out to continue those drilling tests...

    I'll be back out to continue those drilling tests shortly, but in the interim I have ordered the Optimum Metex 1-13mm chuck which was $10 off due to an eBay special, so $75 inc post. Should be here...
  50. So I'm probably going to get one of those Metex...

    So I'm probably going to get one of those Metex 1-13mm chucks. I don't have any drill stubs over 13mm, and if I do end up with one I'll still have the current Sandu 16mm (not Surdu as I stated)....
