Thread: Parser Drill

Wow, looks faster, easier and perhaps even better result than using a router (for those of us that don't have a CNC that is).

Thanks for posting

Thanks Cliff. Never heard of that before. Fascinating.

Thanks for posting that FASCINATING link! I found it very interesting.
What will they think of next?

Maybe a bit OT but there is a collection of old craft videos and also videos of life in past times here...http://www.folkstreams.net/pub/Films...ts,traditional

Thanks for the links Cliff & Chris.
Still trying to figure out how that drill works....
Just looked at a few from Chris's but already worth it for the old guy making wooden shovels & the axe-maker lighting his corn-cob pipe from a red-hot axe blank...

Mark,
Did you follow the link to my webpage from the original article?
Since I made the parser back in 2010 I have thought of another way to describe what happens when I show people how it works .... that is the cutting edge is working like a bradawl, breaking the wood fibres in a blur to a depth of about 1 - 1.5mm, and springing into the corners of the template.
Does that make any more sense?
Cheers,
Peter

Peter - Thanks for that, I think I get it now but will just have to make one to be sure........
