Coring Auger

There are some really good project videos on YouTube.
And then there's this one.

"What the hell is he even going to drill with this thing!?" - Me for 98% of this video.

[KurtHektik]

Before this video I knew nothing about machining but this got me into building a workshop. Now couple of years later I own 30" lathe, a mill with DRO, a TIG welder and no money left.

You could put the pineapple in the lathe, drill and bore out the core, then put a kitchen knife in the holder with a high thread pitch set and go to town. Adjustable thickness!

[NotRealNamesAgain]

The process of watching this video-

1- A what?
2- That's pretty light duty.. I don't get it
3- Still don't get it.
4- OH MY GOD YOU GENIUS

[PracticalRenaissance]

Oh man, I've been doing my pineapples on a disc sander like a chump!!

[godfreypoon]

Instructions unclear, fruit salad stuck in lathe gearbox.

[davidhyer]

I spent 6min and 50 sec trying to figure out what this is for. Blown away again tony. Lookin good son

[stilyou]

Hook, line, and sinker on this one! I was so caught up in the process steps I didn't realize I had no idea what he was making...and then there was a pineapple. Hats off, old boy!

[EscapeMCP]

The Chinese are already sorting out the tooling for the production line and they'll have a cheap copy of this in production by Tuesday. Banggood are taking pre-orders.

[nickjohnson]

Watched the whole thing wondering how he was planning on hardening it....

[billiondollardan]

I laughed so hard at "40 thou stainless? Absolute dream to cut with hand snips."

[LazerLord]

I read the title as 'corning auger' and thought it was something for glass cutting. The end was certainly enlightening.

My grandfather used to make a ton of his own tooling and kitchen tools. We still have a bunch of it. All made from stainless scraps he brought home from nucliear power plant construction sites. He was working as an engineer for the German power plant construction company Kraftwerkunion. Unfortunately he passed away well before I was even born. But I still marvel at his tools. I have a big steel chest full of them. I wish I had gotten more into engineering and metalworking... Maybe someday I'll go out and buy an old lathe and a mill.

I've made about a thousand (much less refined, of course) of these for use in sheetrock. I make them with thinwall stainless tubing and a Port-A-Band saw, then attach them to an appropriately-sized holesaw via either a couple long #10-32 screws or a couple panhead #8 self-tapping screws, depending on whether it needs to fit inside or outside of the holesaw. I'm a commercial/industrial electrician (IBEW L. 317), and occasionally a conduit will need to be run through a thick sheetrock wall and look nice (like coming through a correctly-sized hole that isn't blown out or ragged), they're invaluable when you can't drill from both sides and don't have a holesaw arbor extension. Excellent work!

AvE would have cut the top of that pineapple right off with a Sawzall.

There's no telling how many projects like this are laying around my shop just waiting to come to form. Scrap pieces everywhere.

[fellipec]

Halfway trough the video I though "Why TOT is building such buffed up pineapple slicer? Must be something to use in the shop"

[Esterca]

HVAC duct guy here. Cutting the stainless was difficult because you used the snips in the wrong direction. The shear that sits underneath the material is designed to lift the garbage up and away, along with the help of the other hand. It’s usually about twice as easy the correct way

[johnopalko]

Recently discovered your channel and am catching up on all your older videos. You have one wicked sense of humor. This one had me guessing right up to the Big Reveal(TM). Keep up the good work.

[WildeFyre]

I just now realized… your Sharpie is the most commonly used tool in your shop! Great videos!
