Today's FAIL and Today's WIN.

The WIN first. Why pay $30 each for tool holders, when you can make them yourself?

Now the FAIL.

To finish them, they have to be drilled, then bored, then reamed.

I wanted three sizes, 0.500", 0.375", and 0.250".
The reamers I ordered were 0.500", 0.375", and 0.025" So I got one that's the size of a sewing needle.

MSC gave me a refund and are sending the correct one, even though it was my fault. And they don't want the mini-reamer back, so it's a $20.00 win for me.

Of course, I have no idea what I'd use this tiny little thing for. Suggestions?
