There is no wood lathe, but do you need to make a round blank from a bar? It doesn’t matter - for this purpose you can use a conventional drilling machine. The nozzle for it is easy to make from an old piece of steel pipe.
Using a homemade nozzle, you can grind wooden blocks, grinding them to the desired diameter, and giving them the desired shape. Also, for the manufacture of this nozzle, a car valve is required.
The main stages of work
And the first thing from the 57th pipe will be to cut a small piece 30 mm long. The old automobile valve (from the car engine) is then welded to this segment. And in the end, an almost finished nozzle is obtained.
Then, around the circumference of a piece of pipe, it will be necessary to drill five holes using an electric drill and a drill with a diameter of 4 mm. And better on a drilling machine. Self-tapping screws will be twisted into the drilled holes (to fix the bar).
Well, then everything is simple. Fit one side of the wooden block to the diameter of the homemade nozzle, insert it into the hole in the pipe and fix it with screws.
Then clamp the nozzle shank in the drill chuck and grind the workpiece, having previously made some kind of emphasis for the cutting tool. To learn how to make such a nozzle for a drilling machine, see the video on the website.
