    You can find them at woodcraft. Harbor Freight sells some that I plan to try out soon. I basically rest the drill on my knee for stability and work the blade on my he drum side with my other hand. Direction is very important for safety. Keep the paper very wet.

    I have a similar system but I put my low speed high torque drill in a vice.

    I'll measure and let you know when I get home. A big one is nice for wedges and smaller is good for more hollowed blades. I plan to get a few more. Hopefully I can make a the HF drums work and do less paper changing.

    The one I'm using is 2". It works well on a 1/4 hollow but I would go smaller for any else. I think 1.5" could be a good size for full hollows. You don't want to have to force it into the hollow because it will cut deeper and wear into the spine. I think I may do a tutorial thread when I get a little more experience with it.

    RezDog, what size drums are you using?

    Cut my Black n White ebony blanks, for the W&B wedges.
    1" wide x 6" long x 1/8" thick.

    They should lighten in color after sanding, their a little tan from cutting, and smell of a camp fire. [emoji57]

    I keep waiting for you to eliminate the notched-end on the one and match these blades up, outback!

    Now why would I do that...!!
    Their not identical, the tang on the top one is slightly curved. The bottom one isn't. The only thing in common is their grind, and tang stamps.
    You know I'm "outback" that way. [emoji38]
