LSP_K2 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 My "accidental" purchase arrived today. I'm not entirely unhappy that I purchased it, but it certainly could have waited until later. Out2gtcha, Southern Bandit and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Several years ago, I bought this same set of pin drills, but over the ensuing years, lost many of them and broke a few more. A couple of weeks ago, I set out on a mission to find these at the best price I could, and did eventually find them, at Home Depot of all places, and at a very good price too (far better than any of the online hobby stores, I can tell you). These will come in very handy on a big G-14 that I’m currently working on. I’m a happy, happy guy. Jan_G, mpk and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Kevin, will that pin vise close enough to hold the #80 drill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thanks, Kevin. Starrett makes great stuff; I have quite a few of their tools from my machinist days. Getting that pin vise down to "zero" is not as easy as it sounds. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting that pin vise down to "zero" is not as easy as it sounds. The overall quality of the Starrett stuff that I've seen, is usually quite high. Several of the "hobby" pin vices that I have, will not close to zero at all, and also are frequently cut with the center of the chuck "off-axis", making for a wobbly holder, not so bad for larger bits, but terrible for the smaller diameter ones.

Tnarg Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Regarding small diameter drill bits, I have ordered from "Drill Bit City" which resharpens small drill bits which contain a larger diameter base so that a drill press or pin vise fits them much better. Their store on Amazon sells a set of 25 bits (resharpened) from #80 to #56 for about $25. They have 3.175 mm shanks. The larger shank works very well.

I actually need to get it scanned and entered into the database.

Tnarg Oh I'll be certainly buying more bits eventually, so I'll be sure to check these out. Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
