What would you call this tool? Bolt drill guide?
Some years ago, I watched an A&P drill a shank so it would accept a
cotter pin. Was a metal block into which various sized bolt could be screwn into, each with a hole perpendicular to the shaft that would guide a drill bit. Anyone know what this might be called? - Mike |

I don't think it has a specific name other than bolt drilling tool or bolt drilling block. There is also a V-Block with a series of drill holes that you just lay on the bolt and have at it. This has the advantage, or disadvantage (depending on how you look at it) as to allowing you to drill what ever size hole you want as opposed to what is properly required. You'll find these around machine shops. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com Good morning Roger - problem with a v-block is that you still need to insure the drill passes thru the center of the bolt; unless you know a trick, the v-block will get me perpendicular to the shank, but does nothing for centering the drill-bit (unless you know a secret???) - Mike |

I have days when I make some rather elaborate set ups on my vertical mill then have a eureka moment like that It's best not to have a witness around at times like that. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Clamp the bolt in place using a block of wood to protect the threads. The bolt should be centered in the "V" along with the drill hole. Conversely place the bolt at the proper position in the "V", invert the whole works and clamp it to a wood block. The crill should be centered on the bolt and the block will protect what ever you would have drilled without it...bench tops..etc:-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
