| 1081 forum posts 39 photos | We used to use split morse taper holders with tangled drill of the required length. Expensive as tang sizes change as drill sizes increase so require a number of sleeves. Cheaper to use collet holder or simple chuck. Howard |

 2156 forum posts | I tend to use a cut off wheel and shorten well used ones. It is usually the first couple of inches of flute that is worn. If I am only "rough" drilling I will sometimes grind the drill a bit one sided to cut slightly over when the flutes are showing wear, tends to stop the rubbing. |
