Recommended Posts

Hello,

I need to find out how to adapt my round edge slicker to a drill. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

find a threaded bolt the diameter of the slicker hole. Put on a nut, then a washer, then the slicker, then another washer, then another bolt. If you don't want to cut the end off of the bolt, then have the head sticking out, do the same order, and simply put the end of the bolt into your drill.

Just another idea to pass on:

I had been using a drill like that for a slicker, I just had a wooden thread spool with a bolt running through it. It was a pain to control so I found a 1/2" chuck at home depot that attached to an electric motor I had laying around. After chucking on a large, round, hard wood drawer pull, I mounted it to the work bench. It is much easier to slick edges now because I can use both hands for control.

I took an old pool cue butt and cut off the length I wanted below the joint. Then I sanded all the finish off it and added some grooves. Sanded down the tip to emulate the edge slickers I have seen here and it works great. We use it on the drill, on the drill press and also manually. Fantastic tool. The wood is seasoned hard rock maple.

If you have certain cutting tools,, say for air tools, and the type that you can change the cutting tool from. It is basically a bolt with a nut and threads and a shaft to be put in your drill or pneumatic tool. So, if you do this you can then get different sizes or find different sizes of what you may need. I always see a possibility with things that would normally be considered clutter/junk/trash. this does not mean I collect trash/clutter/junk , unless it is of jap crap chop material
