annular adapter

Duker said:
I used this adapter to hold a 5/8" annular bit for drilling holes for Stronghand tools in my 5/8" thick welding table top using my Mag Drill with a Jacob's Chuck.

Scroll down the page to see the adapter.

Maybe this would work for you depending upon bit size.

I and not sure how big a bit you can use but I have used the adapter in my Powermatic drill press to drill 3/8" holes in 1/2" plate with no issues. I am hoping to find a set on sale one day as I have become a big fan of their ease of use and durability.
 
out of curiosity, how is an annual (weldon shank) adapter any different (other than price) from a 3/4" end mill holder?

duker where did you end up getting yours? I notice on that link there was some with oilers on them, I know these bits do like there lube. so you just pop out your chuck and pop in this adapter and away you go? I know my press goes down to around 250 rpm so I should be fine for speed...

I think I got it from Rex Supply. When it comes to lube I have just used cutting fluid and it seems work fine. I drilled about 40 holes in 5/8" plate with one bit and I didn't notice any lag from the first to the last.
 
and to help a friend, Thomson Grinders in Ixonia Wi, sharpens the cutters. . . i send him lots of cutters to grind.

Davidh, do you have a telephone number or website? I don't need his services just yet but it will only be a matter of time.
 
check your local machine shop they can probably sharpen them for you...I know even the local sharpening place does them here...

Lower the quill down on your drill press and look for a slot in the side of it about 2" long thereabouts. If it is MT2 it will have a slot to releise it. You use a flat wedge to drive it out. Yes most mt tapers have a tang to keep them from spinning it the spindle. But not all do.

I don't have that slot and upon further investigation its a delta mod 14070 and I don't think I can do much with it as far as adding a machine taper :( maybe someone can fill me in a little more on this.... now that we k now the model
