Sources of drill bits, counterbores and slitters for saw handles

[rob streeper]

Thanks for the suggestion.

For some reason, no saw I own can quite get into the area of the handle I need to finish installing the plate. I've purchased one of the Trojan saws that were mentioned earlier in this thread, and made very little further progress. It's out of frustration that I am looking at the slitting saw at all. Heck, yesterday I spent nearly two hours trying to make progress with a modified hacksaw blade and still not even close.

The handle I am working on is a copy of an S&J Sovereign 179. You would not believe how many times I've busted my knuckles on this one handle!

I've delayed and dithered over this project for nearly 18 months as the slotting issue has me jiggered.

Hi Craig,

If you're interested I've prepared an illustrated step-by-step procedure reflecting my techniques of saw blade and back instillation. It's 44 pages so I chose not to post it here, it's on my Alamo Toolworks website blog.

Cheers,
Rob
