just a short video on how to cut keyways in shafts at home without major equipment . Its not as accurate as a mechine shop but will do for what we need.
I always watch your stuff, …great advice too. At 4:14 …I cringed, …I no longer wear sleeves while using a drill press. It’s scary how accidents happen.
This is Excellent! Thank you for sharing! Now I just need to get a new XY vice because the cheap one I bought from Harbor Freight snapped the first time I let a friend touch it 😑
You should actually be able to lock the quill if it has the standard type depth stop locking collar on the quill handle assembly. Instead of rotating the collar to stop the depth, you go the opposite way and lock it so that the quill can’t actually retract. I don’t think a lot of people know this, but of course it depends on your drill press

Good video, very interested to see how you go about doing the internal keyway.
thanks for the video bud, exactly what I was looking for.
No problem 👍

Could you adjust the vice upwards with the up/ down travel to save holding the drill handle while cutting?
Yip probably could but om my drill press when you move the height of the bed it can also swing side to side . So I elected to just hold it.
Hello, bazza I'm doing an 8mm keyway what drill bit size do you recommend I was thinking 7.5mm
Yip sounds like good start. Then just take small cuts until it's the right size.
