Making some poppers with a cupped mouth and I am looking for a round rasp bit 1 inch in diameter??? Is there any such animal???:confused: Have tried Beaver Woodworking, Home Depot, my Woodcraft catalogue.......the only size I found was approximately 1/2 inch and it is a real labor to get the exact "cup" that I am looking for (not to mention a little dangerous if I am not careful!:eek:

PS-I did the search thing already.;)

one of those flat ended (spade bit) drill bits. Round the edges with a belt sander ;) drill your cup....

remember there is no spoon....Big fish there is no spoon....:D

Having never made a plug I don't know if this would work or not but at times shoeing horse's can be like wood work. I would look at the attachment that they make for dremil tools. They make some round bits of varying sizes that you should be able to fit into your drill press.

That's great KL...

NOW GET BACK TO WORK!...

:D

I have a one inch round titanium whisker rasp that I got at the Woodworkers Club. Works great for cupping poppers. I use it in my drill press. When the whiskers fill up with dust, I brush it out with a wire brush (but I'm told that you can burn it out with a match).

How do I find this Woodworkers Club?:D

I bought that rasp and works good.
Good luck and careful on the drill press when using!

Did all that SurfandTurf.....came up with little that I did not already know....but I used the smaller rasp I had, took my time and the cups came out perfect....you should see them!;)

BF did you look at MSA corp.? they make machine shop tooling i.e. milling bits and fixtures. I know they have a warehouse in woburn. Also McMaster-car (I think thats how you spell it) they are another good tooling house:D
Good luck
