Indexing drill head for hammer boring

[Greg Newell]

For those looking for one of the jigs that Kent Galloway used to sell there
is one listed in the latest ENCO catalogue. It is the same indexing head
spin jig that Kent used but Kent made a bracket of sorts to fit in the end
for holding the hammer. I’m assuming that if you really want one of these
jigs you’ll come up with something to use for the hammer clamp. I have
attached an X, y, indexing vise underneath this jig which gives me
everything except the rake adjustment. I’ve accomplished that by using a
radial drill press which I can adjust the rake angle with. You could also
put something under the x,y, indexing vise which would help you create the
small angle for rake. Here’s the spin jig,

I put under the spin jig;

you like, they also have a small arbor press if you can’t make your drill
press do the light press work for the other things talked about recently.

is useful to someone.

All the best,
