buddah beads

[Lepold]

Hi All

i tried making some buddah beads with a set i got on line, long story short, i broke two or three bits while experimenting i tried to cut a notch into a two mm bit i had spare so it will fit into the ball cutting blade. I can't manage to cut the shank, any help.

Can you show us what you mean? and what the end product should look like?

I think he means these.

I used a modified one to do the decoration on a recent bowl.

If it is the set Neil linked to cut a small notch try using a small grinding wheel in a multi-tool trying to use a file it will just skip over the metal, as drill bits are hardened

yep they are the one's i will give the grinder a try

cheers

That firm sure gets around,however the unit itself looks frail.

Hi I gave the grinder a go and it seems to be a good fix, thanks a lot all.

Cheers
