Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this for boring small holes? A: Yes, you can grind this into a tiny boring bar for internal work on small parts.

Q: What happens if the tip gets blue while grinding? A: If the steel turns blue, it has likely overheated; grind back past the blue area to reach fresh, hard steel.
