Thank all of you for the multiple replies.
I have a Tormach mill (and other mills) where I might like to use the Shear Hog made for Tormach.
In this thread
https://www.cnczone.com/forums/torma...shear-hog.html I asked other Tormach users about drilling with a Shear Hog and the response was not favorable, although some of the parties obviously were looking at Shear Hog tools other than the single flute ones.
In the responses I received from you and others with AB tools there were a couple comments made that raised big questions.
1. Specifically will the single flute Tormach verson 3/4 inch Shear Hog drill when mounted in the 3/4 inch R8 TTS collet with the standard spring washer stack holding the collet in the machine spindle with the collar seated against the spindle nose?
2. What plunge rate and peck distance are realistic if it will?
