steven newman Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Posted July 20, 2017 1/16"...smallest one they made. Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Yep., afraid you'd say that. Most all the drills I stumble on is either missing that one or has one broken down to a stub...I'll check tomorrow to see what I have. Wonder if one could grind the base smooth, drill a 1/16" hole in the center and either super glue or epoxy a standard bit back in? Trick would be drilling the 1/16" hole on center w/o having a small lathe. HARO50 and steven newman 2 Quote
steven newman Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Posted July 20, 2017 Only lost a little bit off the end, may be able to sharpen it up, and use it a wee bit longer......Tractor Fest is coming again (Labour Day) and I MIGHT be able to scrounge another drill..with bits. Have to stand there and shake the handle until one rattles a bit... HARO50 and Grandpadave52 2 Quote

What are the dimensions of this box? Looks like it would hold enough for all the spooks and goblins on Halloween! John Nice box, BTW. Grandpadave52 and steven newman 2 Quote
