curved hole?

[the gypsy]

Has any GJ member watched Izzy Swan's you Tube video of drilling a curved hole? What do you guys think.

What do you guys think?

I have seen it now. That is pretty nifty, but a lot of farting around for only 1 hole. I suppose that it could be done more effectively and with more expense, but it goes to show that drilling a curved hole is possible.

How about drilling a square hole?

 

[Superbec]

it's ingenious but.... what's the purpose of the curved hole?

 

[K-Dog]

Awesome. Now if I can only come up with a reason to do this....

 

[K-Dog]

How about drilling a square hole?

WAY cool.

Now that I have uses for, but not in a bench press situation.

 

[the gypsy]

I would like to hear fro some electricians. How often do you have to install wire around a corner that would require this type of drill?

 

[Schurkey]

Boring.









Joke...get it?

 

[the gypsy]

LOL. I must say you have one hell of a sense of humor.

 

[ovrrdrive]

Only possible use I can see is if you were building one of those rope fences where they bore through the 4x4's and you wanted a really fancy corner post...

Even I'm not that ****.

I've bored curved holes in studs for electrical wires many times. Just use a spade bit, and you use the fact that the shank is much smaller than the cutting edge to cut a curved hole with it.

Does Izzy happen to be German by chance? German engineers seem to find solutions for problems that don't exist.

Hi aka Larry. Maybe Izzy is German, I don't know, but he would not be the only one to engineer solutions for a non existent problem.

What may not be a problem for you, may be a problem for someone else. This I believe with all my heart because I see tools that I would never buy because I don't see the utilityyet they are on the market and they sell.

True, he has lots of company in that department for sure.

Who cares if it's useful, it's COOL!!! LONG LIVE IZZY.

This is good for new construction, but especially remodeling/repair/appliance installs when you are in tight spots and need to run electrical wires, pex tubing, refrigeration lines for ice machines, satellite/cable lines, or larger holes for dishwasher discharge lines, supply lines for washing machines or even toilets, etc. Not every location has the perfect setup or access and this could certainly come in handy. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, appliance installers, tv repair, technicians of all sorts could benefit from this for sure.

Thank God some people see some utility in his idea. I thought I was alone. I was ALMOST feeling stupid. Dah.

Kind of makes me think of a friend, a great tiler, was recruited by Neiman Marcus to do tile in a store in Florida.(just to point out he was no dummy) Well he was offered to represent the Schulter System, but being the great tiler he was, possibly making any finish the client wanted, did not see the utility. LOW AND BEHOLD THE SCHLUTER SYSTEM took off like a rocket. So to all of those people pooh poohing new products, I would step back and wait to see the results.

They make 'curved hole' drill bits for that

I thought I had seen something like that before but wasn't sure.
Thank you.
