No offense taken Bartnmax - i think that there are a few types of people in the world that either like to make their own or have it made for them.Bartnmax wrote:Hey Spiro.
I certainly don't like to rain on yer parade, as I do think the tools is a great idea & extremely handy if you do a fair amount of work with reel bearings, but I have to admit I can't see the jiustification in spending $50 for one of these.
I made a similar tool from a piece of 8 inch long broom handle sanded on a belt sander to produce a taper along it's length. I then used various flat washers of measured inside diameter to drop onto the tape & then mark so I knew the diameter of the taper at those marked points. Works a treat, took me all of 20 mins to 1/2 hr to make (including measuring flat washers) & cost less than $1. Good tool though - wouldn't be without mine now.
