Hello everyone,
This forum is amazing.. Is it posible to make a stem avoiding the lathe? I have a drill press (and the pimo tool), can i use it for the drilling process, and to acomplish the whole work of the stem that needed to be done ? If yes what is the procedure and where can i buy ebonite rods for a good price in europe because i am from Greece? :?:
Thank you in advance :)

There are two posts at the top of this section about this. "Hand Cut Stems Without a Lathe" is one of them. "A Brief Procedure on the Use of Delrin Tenons" is another.
