I needed to drill and tap a 25mm ground steel rod and came up with this idea to keep it centralised whilst drilling.
I took a square block of 40mm x 3" long Aluminium (brass is better but I don't have any)scribe crossed it at the corners to give me the center of the block length wise and end wise.
I then drilled out a hole the size of the steel rod througth the length of the block(fig.A).
I drilled a hole in the center the size of the drill I needed to tap the steel rod(fig.C)
I then drilled two smaller holes for tapping in M8 thread(fig.B) these two tapped holes secure the steel rod in place whilst drilling to stop it moving.
Any Good?
