Well instead of work today... We have a few extra days off. So I took photos and had a little fun.
I used a 2" drywall screw and a 5/8" diameter 1 1/4" long scrap delrin. These are the parts lol.
Chucked the delrin in my collet chuck and using the drill chuck with a 1/8" bit I drilled a hole through the delrin. This gives me a well centered hole with no measuring.
I used my skew to create a small recess around the hole. The I used the skew to chamfer the outer edge. Then used the skew to square up the remaing rim. I did this for a few reason. Like back cutting a tenon it leaves only a small area to square up with the turning stock. This will be the end in contat with your work so it Gives ya a nice tight fit this way.
Next I took the delrin out of the chuck, flipped it around, and put it back into the chuck. Then recessed the hole on that side (counter sink for the head of the screw).
With a power drill I ran the drywall screw through the hole. I left the delrin in the collet for this part as it was easier than holding onto the little sucker.
Not the best look at it but I could not get it to show well.
I drilled a small pilot hole to help prevent splitting while ramming a pretty coarse screw into the end grain of small stock. I get it started by hand then run it the rest of the way with the power drill.
Here is a good look at the chamfer on the outside edge and how the piece is mounted using the screw chuck.
Seems to work.
