---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David, The #1 agraffe broke on me during a re-stringing. The replacements I had were too big in diameter (and too long also I found out later). A machinist friend checked my sample, ordered the correct drill bit and the tap and it worked like a charm. I'm a firm believer in letting an expert steer me right if I'm in muddy water. The only caution he gave me was to use a slow turning drill. My cordless worked fine. Iron is easy to drill.
