I really enjoy turning bottle stoppers and I plan on placing a decent sized order for SS Niles #301 stoppers. Anyone want to add a few on to my order? Either post the number that you want.
These are small, so it should be very easy to PE. I live in SE Cary, work in Durham (I-40 near off exit 282) and will most likely be doing a trip to Charlotte in the next month, which gives a few PE starting locations.
Order will be placed Monday 6/13 (afternoon)
Costs: (includes shipping)
Stoppers: $5 each
Bit: $4.25
Mandrel: $25

#301
The most popular bottle stopper for woodworkers with a 1/2" high, 3/8" x 16 tpi threaded stud. They are machined in one piece so there's no worry about it coming loose. Use a 23/64" or 9mm or O size drill bit for threading stopper into wood.
Drill Bit - $4.25 - Stub, 23/64", HSS drill bit, 1 3/4" flute length and 3 1/6" overall length.
Mandrel - $25 - #2 Morse taper bottle stopper mandrel, black oxide coated to prevent rusting. It has a 3/8" x 16 tpi stud that has a slit in the threads making it a tap, thus eliminating the need to tap separately. The back end is threaded and accepts a 1/4" x 20 tpi drawbar.
