I thought it would be fun to do something different.
How do you drill a 1/4 inch hole directly through the center of a common rubber stopper?
I need this for a woodturning tool I am making, thus the reason it is posted here.
The challenge:
…describe the fabrication method and tools needed to drill a near-perfectly centered and formed 1/4" hole through a rubber plug whose large end is 1" in diameter and the small end is 7/8" in diameter.
Full disclosure I already accomplished this but wondered how many ways this can be done…
For exact centering I guess I could laser cut a washer like jig to center the hole cutter? Hard to get a perfecting aligned hole with a plug cutter by hand though.
Make a hole cutter from some tubing and mount everything in your lathe maybe?
