Update for Luke & Minerals-

Baby took an extra-long nap today, so got a lot done...

I still need to make the ring for inside the front of the grip, but the rest of the parts are finished:


And yup, that's 2 collet nuts for each drill. One of the changes I made was to make the collet semi-permanently fixed within the nut to make dropping/losing it more difficult, so I'll be sending one for each collet size.

I also just finished heat treating them and am including a pic on the off-chance that Weld_it has been following the thread (I get the impression he likes stuff like this). Here are the shanks coming up to temp (~1400degF at the moment) while being heated in an impromptu firebrick enclosure with a flame weeder:


Right now they're all sitting in an old toaster at ~500degF to temper, which should bring them down to ~HRC47.


Looks like I'm going to have tomorrow free, so I'll likely play with them a bit more and see if I can get the tool-less mod to work.

Well it has been ust a little over a year sence this project began. I have just about 1/2 of the 250 left +/- a few. Kind of cool reading all of the info posted in the forum.

Aric, Did you ever finish up any of your designs?
