After trying the Edge Tech device, I don't see it as being worth it. It has a nice method of centering using the pin provided. But it requires the chuck to be empty to use. A tailstock chuck is sturdier, just as fast to change tooling in and the tool post is free to turn or part off as required.Could someone explain the advantage?
Power feeding the tool post chuck?? Don't see any advantage. Large holes only require a pilot hole the width of the chisel point on the final drill. If you feed constantly making a long chip there is no need to retract until finished. Then slide the tailstock back. Depth, cheap and easy caliper "DRO."
