    Ramrod channel?

    I got it. Bought a 4 ft x 3/8 in. Bit at harbour freight. Had to use a diamond thingy to sharpen the bit. Very dull. Did try it until I sharpened it. Worked out fine. I gotctwo of those bits as they were dirt cheap on clearance. Sure was nervous doing it but just an in wasn't bad. Thanks

    Permalyn is to glossy for me too,, but a real light rub with 0000 steel wool and then a good rub with soft cloth and some rubbing compound ,, basically wax,, and it's a nice soft sheen.

    Drill bits ??

    I got my drill press down to 400 rpm. It's a digital readout. Just move one lever and go from 400 to somewhere around 2500. It ran my new harbour freight counter sink pretty well but still wanted to get hot. I used a alcohol base liquid for cooling and only engaged material for about 3 seconds...
