Just got the Beading tool that Fred has been selling. Fred has done a nice job with this, but has also provided a platform for additional utilization.
The hole in the end of the tool handle is just over 1/4 inch in diameter. And it holds a cobalt steel tool bit very very nicely. That is the basis for grinding
1. A cove tool as described by David Reed Smith in last falls Wood turning design (or on his web page
2. A 1/4 inch Half Round tool as described in the Fall 2006 AAW American Woodturner.
3. a 1/4 inch version of Don Pencils scraper bit for the Scoprion or Stinger tools. In this case a short straight tool.
What to use if you do not have a box of tool bits, the M2 precision tool blanks (ENCO or MSC) or M7 Dixie Pins (dixiepins.com) you are set.
Nice of Fred to provide this additional function at no additional cost.
