Q-Max Cutter Guide

[angelHomeBrew]

Hi

Received quite a few questions about Q-Max cutters so thought it would be worth taking the time to put a professional how to guide video together

Thought I should explain his happy face.

Had just got him off playing angry birds on his tablet for a minute to do that ! Not happy

Cheers Paul sure it will come in handy

Thanks sbond

Just messing about with son really but might try and provide something a bit more useful and informative

Also was thinking about one on drilling stainless steel, AG brewing, maybe a BIAB one

Think I may have another go !

A simple guide with pics always works well gives people summat to look at

Cheers Paul, very helpful.. However imho what causes the most problems is the initial pilot hole.

Me, Im a fan of a big ammer and small cross head screwdriver knocking the initial hole thru, and then enlarging with bigger hss drill bits... the inital skin break is the hardest bit...

if considering my big ammer aproach - ensire u have the hole rear supported with something to avoid dings..

any tips from anyone on how to revive a well used blunt qmax cutter, my 20mm cutter is beginning to ?blunt? and isnt punching a tidy hole anymore and needs a bit of post cutting file attention...

Yes like that and I was saying thank as everyone seemed to be viewing and not saying thanks

Thanks again sbond

Jim, I hadn't seen that Q-Max guide, very good too. Probably should have done a search first.

Still think there some scope for video format. For example, have been asked how hard it is turn Q-Max through the pot and sometimes easier to see this type of thing rather than describe in words and pictures

Fil, I am tempted to do a drilling one even though there are guides available, as it used to take 15-20 mins to get to a point where you start thinking its not possible to drill a hole.

A pilot hole now only takes a few seconds, small amount on technique, but a lot on having good quality sharp drill bit

Have asked manufacturer about Q-Max sharpening, will let you know

Just had a thought, the sarcasm in "professional how to guide video" did come across. right?

Ok I' must've disabled something, I cannot see the video, can anyone advise please, I'm using Firefox 28 with Adblock+ and all i get is a greyed out window with "No video with supported format and MIME type found."

[angelHomeBrew]

Its an mp4, there is an avi if it helps here

[lord groan]

cheers AHB, that avi works fine. I'll have to have a tinker with my settings, firefox is claiming in 'options' to know what to do with mp4's?

I just wish my kids were even half as helpful as angel!

[angelHomeBrew]

haha, very good. I was just happy to get him of playing on tablet for a couple of minutes

[angelHomeBrew]

Fil ... Answer from manufacturer on q-max sharpening is ....

"yes the punches can be sharpened. It would only be as good as the person sharpening it."

No sure how helpful that really is !
