I just finished a batch of small needles and used the .25 ounce NJTackle tail weight cut into thirds with a pair of snips. Next time I'll pour them, but this worked...

Spence, can use a ladle from plumbing supply house, (Home Cheapo maybe?)
Used for setting toilet flange with lead, heat with torch and pour
As for dovetail idea, I don't get how you can plunge the bit without opening surface to max diameter??? Is it me?

I was wondering the same thing, that's a pretty neat trick. |

Drill a hole first. Just put the bit in your drill press on high speed, keep your fingers away it likes those just as well as wood. if it is a small plug use a handscrew as a holder. A handscrew is a wooden jorgenson clamp works great for a lot of things.

I think what you are trying to say, is once you drill the hole big enough for the dovetail bit, then plunge the dovetail bit in and then rotate it around a little the get the results that will keep the lead in place.

I'll try a step by step
1. Drill hole in plug to depth you want with Forstner bit.
2. Put drill press on high speed
3. Put 1/4" dovetail bit in drill press
4. With drill press on put the dovetail bit in the hole for belly weight and move around to make the bottom of the hole larger than the top.
I use 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 forstners depending on how large a belly weight I need and only drill as far as the head of the bit. This keeps the belly hole out of the thru wire hole if they are connected the lead will fill the plug.
