$500 is about what I'm gonna spend for a unit that does the whole lathe. Like I said, I'm just looking for a sub-$50 interim solution. I like the idea of making dials.
Yes, it was mentioned on GJ that this only works "when they're all the same" like near the welding bench with 30 pairs of clamps.

If you use a grinding disk (rather than a skinny wheel) in your angle grinder, it should be just about right for an air tool quick connect.
try it in the lathe
I tried that once but the blade just flopped around
only works on the ID, not the ODI tried that once but the blade just flopped around

They are life-changing. If you've don't have one or never saw one, trust me and buy one. This one was from amazon I think and came with a bunch of spare blades in the handle. Cheap as dirt and I still haven't broken or dulled the first blade.
You just run it around holes with sharp edges and it shaves a nice chamfer for you, instantly. Works on sheet metal as well as thicker stuff like the ends of tubing.
I have a chinese cross slide vice on the drill press. Works ok on aluminum with end mills, good enough for a lower receiver or two. The damn chuck dropped out of it's taper and I had to put a tack weld on it though.Bet you didn't know your drill press was a mill.
Well it's a really shitty mill but actually worked pretty good for dialing in intake ports
I dropped the pointy cone one and broke it
The hook shaped ones are great for getting the back side of a hole that you can't reach deburred, like in a piece of tubing.
You mean you don't stick the tool in the chuck?
Oh, I get your other post now.
I have a similar set of noga, good stuff but know when to back off using the smaller cutters.The full Noga set kicks ass too
I have one of these and love it to deburr the inside of stuff i machine on my lathe.Machineshop edge breakers.

What thickness? They make ones for EMT that go in a drill and will deburr the inside and outside.
I'm usually doing .120 or .250 bushing sleeves and right now use my flap disc on the grinder and hit the edge while the lathe is spinning but would rather not have to bring that over and plug it in or use my cordless grinder for that.
Shouldn't be using abrasives near the lathe.
If it's in the lathe can you not just lightly hit it with a chamfer tool?
Stop using the cheese-grade drill bit in your hole saws, stuff a 1/4 inch grade 8 bolt in there instead. It won't bend at the first bindup.
Also, even if you keep the drill bit in the center of the hole saw, don't make your pilot hole with the saw attached. When the pilot bit breaks through and you smash the saw against whatever you're drilling, it'll fuck-off sidewards and wreck shit. (figured this one out a looooooong time ago, but still enjoy laughing at other people when they fuck up).
