Yes, there is a learning curve and you will toss a few blades when starting out but thats a small price to pay for not having to design and make a new...

    IKBS drill bit.

    Cubane is correct. the O.D. of the counterbore should be 5/16" when used with 1/16" loose ball bearings. Give Tracy a call and ask him if he has a bearing for that bore. I seem to remember him selling a one piece bearing assembly that took a larger counterbore.

    Thanks guys :) It still needs a little bit more organizing. I decided to shuffle everything around to fit my new surface grinder in and haven't quite finished getting everything the way I want it yet. It was getting pretty cluttered in there before the revamp.
