As for cleaning things like disintegrating foam and anything sticky, take a look at a product called Rapid Remover. It's an industrial product originally made for the adhesives industry. Removes anything sticky within seconds. At one time it could only be had in a gallon or more, but now 32oz bottles can be purchased on Amazon. It's not terribly inexpensive, but a reference grade product. It's used in many applications. Have some tar stuck to your car? No problem. Took off a sticker and some of it was left behind? Less than a minute to remove. Edit: Almost forgot. If you buy NOS tooling that's stained with dry Cramolin, this stuff with a brass brush brings back a bright finish.
Stuart, you're on quite a roll! One thing you didn't cover is the difference between boring, bore-ing, and boar-ing - it would fit well in your series!
Marketing I guess, but the proof is definitely in the pudding. They scream like a banshee if you even imagine running them too fast and the countersink will look like it was chewed in by rabid squirrels.
In my experience they work pretty good on the lathe and much more smoothly than 3 flute ones. 3 flute start to jump around once the cut gets deeper, especially on a small machine. At least that's what I noticed so far.
Great question! My first countersink was a 6-flute "chatterless," which chattered like crazy. Thought there was something wrong with my setup; the machine could have been more rigid. Then tried a Weldon zero-flute. It was like a different world.
Thank you, great info. Just please, for the future, watch about audio (distance between your mouth and microphone) because there is a loooot of 'ts' sounds that just killing microphone and my ears.
Rubbing alcohol if you can find it gas if you can drip them in a sized container one piece at a time and shake tell clean then oil with your favorite libation 😉😉 replace foam with better foam, wood, or in most of my cases pappertowl/shop rag whatevers closer at hand wen I get to that step 🥴 🥃cheers🍻
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Thank you. I really enjoy your discussions on the basics like this.

well done
Excellent again. Thanks
Great series, thanks.
I normally use brake cleaner. If is not the right approach, then the next option is to use a ultrasonic cleaner
Interesting. Nice video
Why do they sell 6 flute countersinks as chatterless if you say they chatter more?

yep...ultrasonic with heat
acetone will usually remove most sticky stuff
I usually try Naphtha first before using Acetone. Naphtha has the advantage of generally not attacking paint or part markings.

I've made some improvements over the years as I've learned how to make videos. Hopefully my more recent videos are less abrasive to the senses.
Thanks Stuart !!

ultrasonic cleaner in a kerosene bath.
Thanks for that! I have an ultrasonic cleaner and was considering putting some kerosene in it. Now I know I won't blow up.
Oh Oh Oh! Burn the foam out.
goof off/ Goo be gone and non abrasive scotch bright or 3-m pad.
Too much talking, no demonstration at all.
