Hi All

i tried making some buddah beads with a set i got on line, long story short, i broke two or three bits while experimenting i tried to cut a notch into a two mm bit i had spare so it will fit into the ball cutting blade. I can't manage to cut the shank, any help.

If it is the set Neil linked to cut a small notch try using a small grinding wheel in a multi-tool trying to use a file it will just skip over the metal, as drill bits are hardened

Hi I gave the grinder a go and it seems to be a good fix, thanks a lot all.

Cheers
