Alan shows the full process of long hole boring using the Record Power CWA131 Long Hole Boring Kit. This is an ideal technique for creating long bores in lamp stands.
Great idea to reverse the work piece, I destroyed the cutting tip on my long hole borer by pushing it into the live centre. I realise that this is an 11 year old video, I haven't seen any of these kits for sale recently, mine is about 20 years old now, Just changed my old Record No. 0 for a Coronet Herald which has number 2 MT head and tailstock, so today got two MT1 to MT2 sleeve adapters to be able to still use the borer. Incidentally, mine came with a removable pointed centre for the tailstock, rather than the long bar with a point on it. Love the way you recess the lamp holder, very inovative.
Alan is presents some of the best youtube vids I have ever seen. Faultless stuff: very detailed, extremely well presented and helpful to the core. Thank you Record Power and others for choosing Alan for your vids
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Zachariah Kendrick thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
This is such a useful set. Why has it been discontinued? I'd like to get one, but can't get it anywhere. Can we expect this to be available again in the future?
Hello, thank you for your comment. Please contact our technical support team on 01246 571 020 (and select option 2) or email technical@recordpower.co.uk. Best Wishes, Record Power.
I just got a similar one made by Planet. It is British made and appear to be good quality, however, I would have gone for a Record one if it was available.
it does have a open profile as you suggest or flute to catch the waste but on the cutting end its a split winged cutting action ,that why you would cut around 6mm-- 1/4 inch then remove to release the swarf from the hole before going back in to continue....
Hello, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, this is not something that we provide. Depending on the length of timber, you may need to drill from the opposing end, which is similar to our recommendations for when making items such as pepper mills. If you would like to discuss further with our experts, please contact 01246 571 020 (and select option 2) or email technical@recordpower.co.uk. Best Wishes, Record Power.
This is really good, but I would like to drill holes something in the range 14-24mm wide and this kit would only allow me to drill 8mm. How should I proceed ?
Hello Philip, thanks for your message. Due to the hardness of Laburnum, it's recommended to sharpen the auger bit to give the best performance possible. This can be done using a diamond stone. If you are still having difficulty, please call us on 01246 571 020.

Well done
My god the subtitles for this are hilarious
Should the auger have an open profile, say similar to something like a fine spindle gouge?

I'd like to drill a hole that is eventually 3/4" - 1" in diameter. Any recommendations on how to increase the hole dimension?

Wouldn't a long standard drill follow the 8mm hole?
@@Baumscheibenkunst good point, this could work as a guide!
The auger will not touch my laburnham lamp , any suggestions
