Wood coil box radius?

Post by schwabd1 » Sat Aug 20, 2022 4:06 pm

What is the radius on the corners of the wood coil box? I figured it was 1/4”, but looking at my bit it looks like that might be too much.

I would say 1/4" is way too much. That's equivalent to 1/2" diameter. If you were to measure the circumference of the bend at 1/4" that would be closer. A machinist should have a set of radius gauges with which you can measure it accurately.
