Thanks Tracy,
I've never used these.
Is there a step drill bit for these, or do you use 2 bits?
I feel kinda dumb asking.

[BossDog]

I don't have step drills for these. I priced some and they came in at $40 to $50 each.

Most use two drill bits. Clamp the knife in place so it doesn't move. Drill the smaller hole. Don't let the knife move. Change the bit and drill the bigger hole - just deep enough. (If you don't have a drill press slide vice, they are ten bucks on ebay all the time.) Use C clamps if you have to. The reason to keep it in place is drilling the second larger hole won't line up just right if you tend to hand hold it and ream it larger. The hole will be oblong.

Put the corby's in and tighten them. Cut off the excess and then just grind them flush. You should still use epoxy to seal the gap but this mechanical fit is really a good way to hold scales on. It's a belt and suspenders approach.

Looking forward to using these, and I'll check ebay for a vice.

Bit of advice dont use step drills, they sux and will fk up a set of scales quick if your not careful. Use counter Bores they are cheaper and more precise.

I agree with rusty a counter bore tool and pilot is the way to go, cheaper and easier. The only thing I would do different then Tracy's recommendation if using 2 drill bits i would drill the bigger hole first (especially if not holding down your scales very very rigid) the spiral flutes on a drill tend to pull up and if you do the small hole first the larger drill will want to cork screw right threw the small hole and it is a lot harder to control but if you do the larger hole first the small one will align itself with the drill point of the larger drill....
