Hi Malcolm,
I make my drills from silver steel. There is a cad program
called allycad which offers a free for home use program capable of
reading Mike Nelsons drawings. Its a pity that a few details are missing
from Mikes otherwise brilliant site. He mentions a modifed slot drill
for cutting the key seats but the description isnt there. I dont suppose
anyone knows what that might be?
No. I just use 2.5 and 5mm slot drills for single/double keys with 10
thou brass linings and 20 thou for the double key divider.
The C and B book shows artificial brass
and cane(plastic now I think) How good are those sizes for modern
pipes?
You need a copy of Colin Ross's reedmaking book.
Cheers
Richard
