I dont have anything in my workshop that takes Morse 1 but I keep moving this item from drawer to drawer and every time wonder what it would be used for. An 8.50mm drill shank is a perfect fit but how would it be tightened up? Ian P

If anyone seeing this thread has a use for it and pays postage or collects they can have it. Ian P |

You've got better eyesight than me, or maybe used a microscope! I will examine it tomorrow to see why I missed it. Ian P
