See a Dixon-Lesley Hole Cutter in Action

Here is a Dixon-Lesley hole cutter making a 100mm diameter hole in a piece of 22mm-thick steel tube from a de-commissioned offshore jacket fabrication. The hole was made in approximately 2.5 minutes using hand feed in a standard 1½ HP turret milling machine. Spindle speed was about 100rpm.
