Got em' and they are awesome...just gotta make a jig and off I go!;) I have looked everywhere for these for months so thanks to those who helped!:D

where'd ya get them? :)

mscdirect.com...there is a link in the other cupped poipper mouth thread down the page.;) $75.00 for both of these including shipping....see you new guys when I tell you its not the power tools that add up its everything else!:rolleyes:

it's to bad they don't come any bigger:(

$75 :eek: Yikes, I think I will stick to the ground spade bits:rolleyes:

way too rich for me.
Thanks anyway Larry.

what did you end up using for a jig?

Nice Larry, but too much chingola for me, call me a cheap bastage, but, I'm a firm follower of Keep It Simple Stupid.... (and cheap, too ;) )
Spade bit and a jig, that will work, when I get a round to it.

No jig yet Young Salt...gonna make one like Afterhours!:D

they have one that is 1-1/4" also
2 kinds, single cut and double cut.

You making real large popper mouths CS?

The 1 inch is just right for the poppers I have been working on and the 3/4 will be great for the smaller ones I have in mind!;)

:faga:

LARRY LARRY LARRY

Send em BACK.

$22 for 1 1/8"

You SHOULD have waited

Salty, where too?... that's more in range of us poor folk

Karl I haven't psoted the link cuz I gotta find the catalog in the stack. They have a website though. It's on my list of stuff to do and was gonna try and have it for Larry when he comes to pick up the saw this week, was planning on showing mr poppermouth how to make a super simple jig :)

Too late...where you getting them from Scott?:smash: Plus I have been looking for months now that I find them and buy them they will come out of the woodwork.....no pun intended!:D

You gonna be around Thursday Scott?:D I am getting jiggy!:happy:

I got 4 more orders to fill tonite bubba if'n I get a chance I'll try and find the catalog....2 stacks of catalogs almost 3' each stack

organization :laughs:

They ain't cheap but you can make mouths with "Deming" drill bits. Take a look a the mouths on some of the poppers from some of the top commercial builders and I bet they have the same shape.

SO LARRY

How many plugs it worth to youuuuuu

My mistake

1 1/4" diameter

$30.52

1" is $22.86

WAIT that is list price.

My cost $18.31 for the 1 1/4"

Scott, are you ordering any? I could use a few.

I order from these guys alot. Put together a number of who wants what and I'll see if'n I can beatem up for a better order.

What are you getting me :huh: :D :laughs:

Jigman

slip....certain poppers don't have full round depth,,,more of a shallow dish.....in other words if the mouth is 1" wide you need like a 1 3/16th bit to get a shallow cup. then there's blue streak poppers that have a deep cup but need to b large because of the dia of the plug itself....so by using 1 1/8-1 3/16-1 1/4 spade bits ground in different round curves, you can match the plugs of old.

I know I want a 1" and 1 1/4"

I would like to have 3/4, 1 and 1 1/4

Is that carbide or steel there is a big difference.I use the same round router bit i used on my jig mold an it still cuts fine i clean it up wit a stone ball.

nib those are HSS steel, no problems with them loosing sharpness, I've cupped over 4000 poppers with ONE and not had a problem....I suspect they would work for what casual builders would do :D I bought a spare just in case but it sits there. It will probably crap out late on a Saturday in the middle of a run though knowing my luck.

I'd be interested in a 3/4 and possibly a 1 inch

Mike still cheaper, especially if we can put a group buy together. That's retail price.

Let's do it.

NIB see what I see...there's your flat bottom round counter sink for eye's.

Here is a 1" ball rasp that I use, it was only $10

Scott: count me in ........... 3/4" & 1"

Can a Jersey boy get in on this?? I'm in for a 1" and a 1 1/4".

I found one of these bits and tried it today. The only thing I succeeded at doing is burning the wood and making a TON of smoke!!

Am I spinning it too fast? My drill press is running around 3700 rpm (I believe) Any suggestions?! :wall: :wall:

Slow it down some Bob? I run mine about 2750 if I remember right?

If it still smokes it's dull and no good...was it wrapped up or was it loose?

After the shows I'm going to get the stuff together for the group buy.

It was in a hard plastic case and not touching anything. I'm wondering if I'm running at a higher rpm. Maybe I'll try it again today slower?!

hopefully you didn't burn the edge off it Bob. Bring it with you this weekend.

Gawd I hope not! :( I'll bring it down. It was a cheapy so live and learn.

Larry, having built one or two poppers in my day. May I suggest pre-drilling with a conventional hi=speed drill bit 1/16 siz smaller and then plunging your ball of death in. It will save tons of work and time. Or what I use is a multi fluted countersink which I have machined round.

Armand

Salty,

I think you were right with slowing the bit down. Slowed down to 770rpm and it seems to work fine, although I think I dulled the bit :( Probably order from you when you put the order in. I really like the cut of it!

Thanks for the info! See you this weekend!

with a cut-off blade on a dremmel tool you might be able to the the edge back on it yourself. I sharpen all my own bits. I've been doing it for years. They just usually need a nice light touch. on the inside of the leading edge.

Armand

I just ordered from Discount Tool. Jeff said he would give us a quantity break!!

Can i get in on this? 1" please :-}

I think I will stick to the ground spade bits:rolleyes:


Slip, do you just grind the corners off the spade bit ? Is that what you are talking about, tried doing some poppers this weekend with my dremmel and all I did was make a couple of nice plugs turn to crappola :gorez:

Ya, grind the corners to a radius but you also grind the center point a little smaller as well.Keep an edge on the radius.

Like this :D Bruce, I'll drop it and the ram rod off tomorrow on my way back

no big deal Mac, if you can fine, Thanks but it's no biggy.

I'll be in Weston :(

Depending on what time I get back I'll drop it on the porch if no one is home. The plug is done too.

Thnx guys :kewl:
