This was a big project for one day but managed to finish it up before supper. I have a large chunk of steel that
with one cut gave me the rough dimensions of the holder. After truing it up on all 6 sides, I proceeded to mill
out the dovetail. Once that was done, a 5/16 inch drill was passed though the holder, then a 3/4 inch, then a
slightly larger bit entering into the hole one inch.![P1040095.JPG P1040095.JPG](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/428/428965-4365a29387ac022444706ab7c72007f0.jpg)
This was my starting point, a big chunk of steel in my home made band saw.

Here it is after some machining including a Morse#3 taper hole.

I used the lathe to power the #3Morse tapered reamer.
Here is the #3 Morse tapered CXA style holder ready for power feed drilling. I don't have a job for it at the moment but if I
have to do a lot of drilling of large holes in thick material, it will come in handy.
