At first I ran it fast. Did not work as it hopped and I could not get a good taper. I figured out the trick is to run it real slow for maybe 3 revolutions and it is done. Most of what I have done is on grade 8 stuff.

Anything cutting steel you want to go slow, this is no different.
I think I will get one of these
I made 4 sizes of these when I used to work aircraft cabins. Great for insulation, carpet, panels, etc. The first set I made didn’t have a cut out and would get clogged up. After adding that they worked great. Back up with a piece of wood and smack with a hammer.
It's been longer than intended but the blue handles are back in my bag this morning.
We'll see now if I wind up missing the Knipex.
Yeah, about that...
If they say Knipex, they are usually 5-finger-discounted the first few days of being present.

I had to punch six 1/2" holes through 3/16" steel Monday. Unit was mounted on a truck. Was hand drilling. Drilled 1/4", then 3/8" and then 1/2". On the 3rd 1/2" hole, the bit locked and the drill spun my hands. Right wrist instantly burned and my shoulder was already on fire, was now worse.
So I sat down and ordered this.
I should not have that issue again. I need to get stuff like this in my possession before I quit working.

Does that have a regular drill chuck or Weldon shank?
Both. Weldon shank with a regular chuck to use in it.
Never seen something like that before.

I had seen a drill press like that but had to google weldon shank. There I go learning again...
I picked up a counter weight for the tractor about a week ago. Now I can lift the max capacity with the loader without lifting the rear end (tires already filled with beet juice are not enough.
Very nice. We just use a Dana 80 lol.

It just needs a grinch sticker, or Jim Carey from the mask
Finally got around to going through all 38 pages of this thread. Here's one everyone of you needs. I actually use it with the quick disconnect wheels to cut small panels and shape them. The uses are endless though. Works just like a speedometer cable and makes using the dremel so much easier on the those small intricate jobs.
When I worked at the machine shop we had one that ran off its own electric motor. Great tool.
I have that on steroids. It's called a Fordum tool. Seriously, a 1/2 horsepower electric motor powers it. It has a drill chuck style head. It's actually meant as a jewelry/gunsmith tool. Thing is awesome
