A tapered drill bit

kanse · Feb 5, 2017

I am fed up with my Forsetti, that thing has a worse airway than the DR Grabow lark I had, despite of being 5 times larger.

I am looking for a tapered drill bit to widen the stem but everywhere I checked they go for 15$, anybody have an alternative?

I bought something like this from Lowes for around $7 (I think 5/32"'s)

Second on the Lowes. That's where I got my 5/32" tapered bit.

That's exactly 16$ with shipping.

What are you planning on turning the bit with? I use a T-handled tap wrench.

I have no idea what Englishmen call it but I have this large metal jaw device that can clamp the bit in.
