Multipurpose drills move more metal - carbide insert u drill

If you enjoyed this project, you might enjoy making some more firearm-related projects? How about, for example, your own working cardboard gun?

Next, take your Perma blue and coat the gun carriage parts as needed. With that done, rig up a barrel elevator mechanism for the rear of the gun carriage.

This new TaeguTec DrillRush double margin indexable drill head enables reliable high quality hole machining which includes close hole tolerance, premium surface roughness and production stability.

With that done, mock up the position of the wheels against the gun barrel. Using another length of metal, sketch out the design of the gun carriage.

Cannons are impressive pieces of kit, but they tend to be pretty big, and frankly dangerous things to have at home. So, why not make a little toy one?

The new DrillRush small diameter tool’s rigid clamping system for stable machining offers improved performance and high productivity in small diameters and is also available for ISO M8 standard pre-thread hole machining.

Mark out six equidistant points around the middle of the wheels. With that done, core out the points to make some openings in the wheels.

TaeguTec’s new small DrillRush line’s interchangeable head eliminates the need to remove the entire drill from the spindle in order to replace the head; a process that reduces the task into a single operation which in turn shortens cycle times and substantially increases productivity.

With the basic components of the cannon now done, we can begin to add some decorative features to it. Let’s start with the wheels.

With two guiding areas – four in total – on two cutting edges, the new double margin indexable DrillRush ensures high hole quality in relation to the cylindricity and straightness of the tool during the machining process.

Known for its optimised edge geometry and innovative clamping structure, the addition to the DrillRush family continues the line’s remarkable performance compared to existing solid carbide or other conventional drills.

Now add a firecracker into the chamber, load the gun, and insert your fuse. Aim the gun, light the fuse, and stand back!

The first step is to take the metal for your barrel and place it in your lathe. Turn the metal to make the basic shape for the barrel of the cannon.

TaeguTec has extended the application range of its successful DrillRush line by introducing 6 – 6.9mm diameter range drill heads for 1.5xD, 3xD and 5xD drilling depth holders. The manufacturer claims this innovative exchangeable drill’s performance exceeds that of the small carbide drills available in the market today for small diameter machining.

The new addition to the highly popular line opens the door to high surface roughness and high precision drilling application, and expands TaeguTec‘s reach into the drilling market while also extending the application range of the successful DrillRush line by improving upon the steel drilling (ISO P material) process.

DrillRush doubles margin on 8-19.5mm diameter ranges TaeguTec has also introduced a double margin indexable drill that has a diameter range of 8 millimeters to 19.5 mm.

With the main design for the barrel complete, the next step is to create the bore of the barrel. Turn the barrel around in the lathe, and core out the barrel of the cannon as needed.

Cut the length of metal to size and shape as needed. With that done, mark the position of the wheel axles, and core a hole through the metal as needed.

Like all DrillRush products, the double margin indexable drill heads have a quick change system that permits for head indexing on the fly, can incorporate different size heads on one drill body, its twisted coolant channels and polished chip gullet offers smooth and excellent chip evacuation and its rigid connection presents remarkable performance with a maximum number of head indexing.

Next, make some ammunition for the gun using small lengths of wood. Shape into ball or bullet shapes as needed.

This will take some time, but you can make the design however you’d like. However, try to make the barrel thicker towards the middle (or where the chamber will be) and more splayed towards the end of the muzzle. You can refine the shape using files, were needed, too.

Like all DrillRush products, the body’s polished flutes provide smooth chip evacuation without damaging the surface finish.

Furthermore, the double margin type heads are available in the latest GoldRush TT9080 grade for prolonged tool life and are interchangeable with standard DrillRush bodies.

Attach the elevator to the rear of the carriage and wheel mount to the front. Then mount the barrel to the top of the carriage. With that done, mount the wheel to the gun carriage as needed.

With the main barrel more or less complete, we can now machine the wheels. Take a disk of metal and place it in the lathe.

With that done, take the barrel of the cannon and flatten off the part of the barrel that will contain the chamber. Next, bore a hole from the flattened part into the bore of the barrel, and thread it. This will be used to mount the gun to the carriage.

Add padding to the rounds as needed to fit snuggly in the barrel. With that done, your mini cannon is now complete.

Then machine the wheels of the cannon to your liking. Once happy, bore a hole through the center of each wheel so they can be mounted to an axle.
