Coring From Both Ends

[slim123]

Very interesting.
If I can ask
Actual stepped, tapered or just 2 seperate cores cut straight?

I've not attempted to core anything in one piece, however, i have had request for stabilized burl in a one piecce butt. i was putting a feeler out there to see.

Shouldn't be a problem, just make sure your work piece is nice and concentric and draw a reference line across of the blank, so you can position it exactly the same orientation when changing sides. I use a Pratt Burnerd KC15 chuck for coring, very accurate and very fast to change work piece.

Kim that chuck is too over priced for me, in the early stage of the hobby, however the refernece point was the clue
Thank you Good Advice

You'll get there. Don't rush.

One 30 inch shaft dowel cut half to .640 a the other half cut to .765.

I've done full cores and partial one's too. My partials have 3/4x16 threads at the bottom with glue rings on the rest and glue relief channels so I can fill it with epoxy, press the core in slowly until it hits the threaded part, then tighten it like a bolt.

I like this approach. So you are threading 3/4-16 internal threads all the way at the bottom of your bore? and 1" threads on a 7/8" dowel? I'm a bit confused, can you clarify? I like the threaded aspect!

The 1x8 thread turned down to 7/8" gives you consistent glue rings. I mounted a 3/4x16 tap into a brass rod
3/4 o.d. rod with a 7/8" bushing on it to hold it straight. The other end of the brass rod, I drilled an tapped
For a 1/2x13 threaded rod. I can tap 30 inches if I choose too.
Good luck

That is very clever, nicely done.

Thank you
I've kept that private for a long time.
But seeing I no longer speak to a couple of pretend friends on here that I unfortunately shared some things with. I figured it was only a matter of time before they posted it!
