Yes....The tool came with some extra bits and the steel is quite hard.

I have not yet checked the size of the bits to make sure I will wind up with enough metal to stand the stress after I do the machining.

I am having fun in the process and hopefully I am learning from the mistakes I am making.

I have completed one career and am now in the middle of my second. It would not be right to start a third but if I were at an earlier point in my life, I know I would enjoy metalworking. There is a lot to learn and I am not foolish enough to think I can learn it all on the side.

So my primary teachers are, a) the mistakes I make, and b) the pointers I am getting from you guys.

I do appreciate it.
