Drill/reamer/tap boxes

[grim_d]

Hi all,

Have bought a few dormer taper reamers for using at work but unfortunately they arrived loose, was wondering if anyone has a stash of those little snap boxes they might be willing to part with? Need to store them flat in my toolbox which is why I can't make a rack.

Sizes are 3/16 - 105mm long, 5/32 - 80mm long, 1/8 - 70mm long. (nothing like mixing units of measurement )

Cheers!

Bugger, just binned them all at the weekend. I put all mine into a tool box on nice rubber matting!

Silly question, but what do you use them for?
Making a tapered hole?

Use them for enlarging holes in sheet.

Just like the little boxes, dont take up much room in my already crowded toolbox.

Find a place near you that sells cutting tool they will probably have them.
Drill Service in Horley have a big cardboard box of them under the counter, I often take a pocket full of them.

Exactly that

One use is for fitting tapered pins.

Another is in press tooling to allow the slugs or blanks to fall out from the bottom
