The "regrind" thread prompted me to post a question that I've wanted to post for a while now, and keep forgetting.
Has anyone ever tried using these carbide indexable spot drills? I've only seen a few companies that make them. I think they are Everede, OSG, and some off brand company.
With the price of standard spots and the fact that nobody seems to be decent at regrinding them, I've often wondered of an indexable was a decent way to go. They may vibrate a bit because they are only one flute, but if they work decent, I would think a person could spot your holes pretty fast compared to high speed drills. Anyone?
Bottom of the page here, shows a video of this in action. Looks like a smooth cutting tool, but I'm skeptical
