drill small end of pin size, then drill with taper drill, then finish with taper reamer to fit pin required, tapered pins can be over length eg 8mm to 3mm dia x100 mm long fit pin then cut to length.

Hi the Speed Twin badge is from a triumph 500cc speed Twin of early 60s vintage, the other thing aint got a clue

Hi clogs you could use an angle grinder either 4.5" or 9" with steel cutting discs very cheap for the discs. As a company we use this method for most site work pipe cutting and plate etc, The 4.5" easy to control and cuts very well discs about 50p each.

Make sure you type CLEVIS and not CREVIS as this also brings up girls with nose rings in all sorts of funny poses!

And you can always eat the cheese!

The size of the tool shank is also the the height of the cutting tip so unless your toolpost can be adjusted below the 15mm indicated on image the 16mm tool will be too high, the size of the insert for home use will probably not matter larger insert is more robust and more expensive, securing the tool with two screws will be fine.

Borax or any powdered flux mix with water to paste apply to area to be soldered only with brush or cocktail stick this should give good results

Small drill blanks used as plug gauges, as mentioned before tapered bore gauges.

Diamond wheels are for carbide ONLY, you should be looking at Borazon type abrasives for High Speed Steel again they should only be used on HSS
