Your lucky that you still have a local scrap yard that lets you scrounge around for treasures like that.
Most have put an end to it. Insurance reasons...

I must be doing something wrong, I hardly ever get any of those splinters you guys are talking about. I don't run my fingers through the swarf or clean...

That's pretty cool. Doesn't look too difficult to make. I'm guessing the last step was to part the diamond from the rod and polish the top.
Great...

Any pics? That would help.

I've seen connectors like that in Newark Electronics catalog. I bought a couple 8 pins for a project about 20 years ago. Every bit of that connector had...

That's pretty much the way the game has to be played. I can remember when ebay frowned upon this and discouraged the practice. What were they thinking...

That's the way the hardware store organizes their drills, some are in old Huot cabinets too.

I was thinking of getting one of these at one...

I was at the local hardware store the other day and bought a few small number drills. I told the girl pleas don't put them in a paper bag as they may...

Yes, I have a small laminate trimmer for Formica tops.
The cutters are 1/4" and so is the shank. Those look a bit bigger, if I were to guess...

[JoeLee]

they look a little big for that and they have what appears to be a center bearing surface between the cutouts. To me that dismisses the thought of them...

[JoeLee]

That's right and annealing them close to the shank would probably be another step in the mfg. process. Something cheap collet mfg.'s would not take....

That's a pretty good idea, where did you get all those little bottles?
