Tomahawk Ax 3 pc Drift Set: Tomahawk, Large and Small Hammer Drifts
Each drift is approximately 11" long and used to form the hole needed to handle hand-made hammers, axes, tomahawks, etc.
The process used by most smiths is to drill a series of small holes as close together in the center of the workpiece to be drifted. Once the holes are drilled heat the item and use a cold chisel or similar tool to split the piece.
Once split, heat the piece again and drive the drift through the hole. Tap the sides of the work piece while continuing to drive the drift into the work piece until the drift hole gets to the desired measurement. The heating process may be needed several times to get the desired shape.
The large Tomahawk drift tool measures 3/8 x 3/4 at the small end and tapers tear drop up to 7/8 x 1 1/4 at the large end.
11-1/4 long 2 lb 5 ozThe large hammer drift tool measures 5/8 x 7/8 at the small end and tapers up to 3/4 x 1 1/8 at the large end. 11-1/8 long 2 lb 2 oz
The mouse ax drift tool measures 5/16 x 7/16 at the small end and tapers up to 5/8 x 7/8 at the large end.
10-5/8 long 1 lb 4 oz
The tools are made of tough 60/45 ductile iron. These castings have been produced for many years and have proven to be very reliable and useful.
