In this video I'm setting up our oldest, most battle scarred 2.5D, 50-51 mm Udrill into our little lathe... and then sending it headfirst into 4140 steel.
I briefly discuss the different styles of indexable drills (udrills) and why there is ONE specific style I absolutely love... and one I detest. We go through setting them up, with some clever tricks if you run old school style lathes like we do.
I share the G Code we use, speeds and feeds as well.
It didn't run EXACTLY as I'd hoped, but honesty... sometimes that makes for a better video.
