Intersecting it at ninety degrees, one half inch from the same end, a three sixteenths diameter hole is drilled form the side. This is tapped to take a one quarter inch set screw. To do this the tap is screwed in a half turn, backed out a quarter turn, returned a half turn, backed out a quarter turn and so on until the hole is tapped.

This article will take a look at what types of wood burning tools are necessary to complete even the most basic of sets and how to find alternatives and replacements that work just as good at half the cost.

Wood burning was developed at the dawn of time as a means to communicate. The technique is essentially just burning, or etching, images – later languages – into a type of material. That material was usually leather, but later became wood. As such, wood burning was developed. And that’s it. There really isn’t much to it beyond the basic idea of etching something into wood using fire.

A three sixteenths square cutting bit as used by the metal lathe people is put into the hole in the end of the shaft and held there by a set screw. The set screw prevents the square bit from turning in the round hole. Now it is sharpened to about seventy degrees and slightly rounded and a hollowing tool is born.
