For Woodworkers. Can I use tenon cutters with a portable drill
My husband just purchased a 12 VoltDeWalt DC759 portable drill - 1/2''
VSR.Must have two speeds as it states 0-450/min 0-1500/min RPM. l
would like to know if it is possible to use tenon cutters ( 1'' and 2''
sizes) with this drill.Same goes for the 1'' and 2'' frostner bits.All of
the cutters state ''use with electric drill''I am hoping a portable
qualifies. If yes, will it run my (l mean his!) drill down really quickly? If no, what about an impact gun?7.5A 1/2' square drive, 2100 RPM. And finally last resort, anyone have any experience using the hand cranked ol' fashioned type drills?I've seen one at Lee Valley Tools that is supposed to do the job. FYI:I am looking to try my hand at making a few pieces of rustic furniture - as well as some railing for the cabin is loft.Please note, l have zero woodworking experience, this will be learning experience for me.THANK-YOU!!!
yep have a 1/2 vsr i use to cut tendons but a 2 '' might give
you a fit, i cut mine at 3/4 ''
are you building beds? they take a 2'' chairs take 3/4''
a electric drill will give you more torque
yes a hand drill or auger will work with bits thats how they use to drill
holes,
for both of your ? is the cordless drill will not hord up to
the taskBuy a good quality elec. drill at least 1/2 inch.The hand drill
you speak of will work,but be prepared to get a real workout.As for the
wood,try sticking with the soft woods,pine,spruce etc.Use what is green
not dead.I'd let it dry for a few weeks before starting to ''work''it.When
the pieces are completed apply polyeurathane to keep wood from
splitting/cracking..good luck,sounds like alot of fun!!!!
Sure it will work. And DeWalt is my favorite brand; good
choice. Did yours come with a spare battery? Just keep one on the charger
while you use the other one.
Once you get into woodworking, you will want to get a drill press for this
type of work - even a benchtop model will do. You will get truer cuts, so
better joints, so a better finished project.
I am assuming you mean ''round'' tenons. Yes the portable
battery drill IS electric. But wouldn't it be more fun and entertaining to
use ''hand tools'' to form these tenons? You will learn about the
properties of the wood you are using and gain great insight into how
things were done that made the invention of modern tools to accomplish the
task at hand. Just a quick reminder, measure twice, cut once!
I usually answer ''Can I?'' questions with ''Certainly, but you
may not be satisfied.''
IF you could stabilize any drill for joint making, it might still not
have the RPM is to do a decent job, considering that many routers with
joint bits run at approx. 25,000 RPM's
Beyond that is the operator being able to keep the hand tool steady for a decent joint (Rustic or not) The issue with a cordless will be a gradual slowing down as you drain the battery. The Brace & Bit is still an effective tool, but to use even an auger bit at even 1 incnh diam. will be labor intensive, anything larger, might actually defeat the balance one has to maintain in using the brace. Without knowing at all what kind of rustic furniture you're looking to build, you could search for a Clamping device for a drill, essentially creating a crude drill press, or just get a drill press. You might be as well off with a set of hole saw drill bits. Just my two ''sense''
