Hi gentlemen,
I am making a new knob for my lathe and wondering how to get the taper pin back in. The recommended procedure requires drilling a taper hole with a taper drill bit through the collar of the knob ,followed with a reamer. I already have a taper reamer, is it possible to drill with regular straight drill bits and ream the taper to correct size ? If not, anyone knows a source for cheap taper drill bits ? (This is a one time project) . Mc Master listed one for 70 bucks Thanks
