Re: drill bits?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBob, You¡¯re right, those bits are great for avoiding the collet change. I have a small battery powered Dremel that is easy to control that I use them in. They are also very sharp! They are easy to break, but so cheap that it barely matters. I used to get mine at train shows too, but those are nearly extinct now. I checked eBay and they appear to be readily available from China:? Roger Nulton ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bob Werre

I once bought a box of carbide drill bits from a train-show exhibitor.? I think Micro tool people also sell the same thing--really just a bunch of bits (of random sizes!) in a plastic box, but each bit has a fat collar around it.? I had thought that collar mount would save a lot of time just in not having to adjust the collet size for each bit change.? I once tried to use them but it quickly broke.? I don't think I've tried any since, so to the back of the drawer they went!? I'm wondering if you gentlemen have used them successfully and how you deal with carbide bits?? Bob Werre |
