Kevinshuffield Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I got my grandfathers work bench and it had 2 full drawers. I found this, have no idea what it is? Can y'all help? Thanks!

Popular Post Chet Posted January 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It is a drill bit for cutting holes. You adjust the two outer most cutters to the diameter of the hole you need. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Lobotomizer It's a remake though, based off the old Stanley #5150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I've generally only seen these with one cutter, do you generally use two at once? Two would make the spinning less unbalanced, but could be tricky getting them set just right, though I guess as long as the more outer one is set exactly right, you'd be ok? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yea the ones I have seen in the past, including one my dad had, only had the one cutter. Either way you need to be patient with the drill pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TerryMcK Posted January 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's a trepanning tool. Normally you would only use one cutter at a time. Only use it in a drill press on very slow speed (it is unbalanced with one cutter but you could leave the other holder in place without cutter to balance it out) as it will take your fingers off. Also make sure you don't have any loose sleeves or long hair near it. I once saw a guy pulled into a lathe with loose sleeves - not a pretty sight but he survived with a broken arm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I suppose with 2 cutters you could set them to different diameters and cut rings! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Woodenskye Posted January 17, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 You know when someone says they will rip you a new a**hole, this is the tool they will be using to do the job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still make them - I bought one last year at Lowe's (single cutter) They are a good tool, but you have to respect it. I bought it to cut an odd size hole around 3" in diameter. I used it to cut hole in a template and adjusted until it was the right size then used the template with a pattern bit in my router to get a clean hole in my workpiece 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
