Bought a Drill Press..What king of Bit for 7/8" Label ?? (2 Viewers)

[RussB42]

What type of drill bit do I get to do 7/8' labels?

Bottom cleaning router. I haven't used it yet so cannot say 100% that I'm right. But it should work.

This is correct. You want a 23mm bit if memory serves, though, not a 7/8" bit. It's either 23 or 27mm. Can't remember off hand. I will check when I get home.

I lied. It *is* a 7/8" bit you want.

Ok thanks,

What about a 1" label? A 1" bit?

 

[RussB42]

Just trying to keep all the Inlays and labels the same size.

Can I ask what kind of Drill Press you bought Russ? I'm starting to think of jumping in on a drill press for milling purposes (even as poorly mechanically inclined I am with power tools).

I can still play poker with 4 1/2 fingers right?

Possible but your chip shuffling may suffer

It's a WEN Mod 4208, got on Amazon for Less than $80.

Still in the Box, as I haven't had time to try it out.

Thanks Russ I'll add it to my searches. Figured for the prices I've seen and if the lower powered/speed units will work for milling it's not that big an investment.

 

[RussB42]

Your Welcome,,,

I just hope I can check it out fairly soon..

I was fooling around with a bench mounted drill press for practising before I start milling chips and I discovered one thing. Set your speed to the lowest setting and ensure your fixture you are putting your hip into holds it fast. Good luck.

I've been down with my COPD for a couple weeks and then got Strep Throat... Haven't even unpacked my Drill yet.

Sorry to hear that, Russ! I hope you can pull through it soon.
