Richard:
Thanks to you and Dadugally for the helpful information! Since I could not run my drill any slower than 320 and was pressed for time I cut slits in the shaft (a TTlite) and went with that. Drove a round wedge in the tip after it was installed with the eboxy to make sure of a tight fit.
Wish I could rig my press so it would run at around 200, any suggestions?
Again thanks to both of you>
