Jeff Higgins, "higgy" made them and I think he may be back at it. Send him a PM, he is a member here.

There are some made to place in a drill press for alginment but you turn by hand. The hand can move up into the handle for height positioning to start and follow through.One type has a round handle about 4" long made from aluminum and anodized too. I'm a bit surpised Tracy dosn't sell them. They would retail for about $15. They are a fine tool. Frank
