Hi Ken ,
I did have a quick look on Ebay , but the key size is one of those odd ball sized ones ,I have most of the common sizes but not that one ,so at the time I think the only one was a used one on Ebay ,in dubious condition and as you say would the size have been listed correctly
. First time for me using a 3MT HSS drill shank to make a cutting tool from ,bit of an experiment, I normally use drill rod /silver steel , It turned lovely , next time I would use my heat treat oven and a TCG when I get the latter repaired lol so it looks a bit more pro .
But it dose show what can be done with old worn out tooling , a drill bit like that could be picked up here at a car boot sale for coppers / cents . Just food for thought .
