I just finished a batch of small needles and used the .25 ounce NJTackle tail weight cut into thirds with a pair of snips. Next time I'll pour them, but this worked...

Spence, can use a ladle from plumbing supply house, (Home Cheapo maybe?)
Used for setting toilet flange with lead, heat with torch and pour
As for dovetail idea, I don't get how you can plunge the bit without opening surface to max diameter??? Is it me?

I was wondering the same thing, that's a pretty neat trick. |

Drill a hole first. Just put the bit in your drill press on high speed, keep your fingers away it likes those just as well as wood. if it is a small plug use a handscrew as a holder. A handscrew is a wooden jorgenson clamp works great for a lot of things.

I think what you are trying to say, is once you drill the hole big enough for the dovetail bit, then plunge the dovetail bit in and then rotate it around a little the get the results that will keep the lead in place.
