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

Used hard and put away dirty....

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
