i used a cut off piece of the drill bit that made the hole.
its gotta be tough enough that a fed can't spin it off with a giant wrench, if it comes down to it. i've heard stories (old wive's tales and internet exaggeration i'm sure) about pipe wrenches and destruction aplenty |

I know I need some for metal obviously but justdont know what they are called MSC has 1/8 carbide 4 flute endmills as does wholesale tool.......I source the dowell pins locally yo get the price down...but I have to buy a BUNCH so any of the parts places like Del-Ton list the index pins in the small barrel parts section....as does brownells. BUT...to use a 4 flute endmill...you'll need a milling machine....NOT a drill press or a hand drill......so you can support the rool correctly and NOT drill through into the bore of the barrel....LOL...honestly If you aren't a machinist.....or have a well equiped home shop.....send it to a pro...... |
