NEW! Flex Coat "New Concept" Cork Drills
This 16" Speedbore Bit has been modified to cut
cork by using the BACK side of the bit.  The 1/4"
shaft is inserted through a pre-formed cork grip's
bore and then inserted into the drill's chuck.  By
pulling the drill back through the grip, it is re-bored
in one easy motion.

Cork Plane
4-3/4" X 2-5/8"  Sanding Block holds 1/6 sheet of 8-1/2" X 11"

New Concept Cork Drills
Recently introduced in RodMaker Magazine, Flex Coat's "New Concept" Cork Drills are easy to use and a
HUGE time saver.  Pre-formed Cork Grips can be quickly and easily re-bored in a matter of seconds, rather
than the time consuming, tedious method of increasing the grip's I.D. with a series of Files and Reamers.  
New Concept Cork Drills are available with full instructions from Flex Coat in three ready to use sizes.  We
also offer five sizes of "stock" Speedbore Bits for those who have a Belt Sander to grind their own  .For the
full article and instructions on making your own New Concept Drills, pick up a copy of RodMaker Magazine
Volume 9 #5.

25' roll of cloth backed 36 grit reamer
abrasive. Wrapped & glued onto a
piece of old blank stock makes fast
work of fitting reel seats, arbors, cork,
EVA and Hypalon grips. "Coated"
abrasive doesn't lose grit like "glued
on grit" type razor wands, so you don't
have to worry about pieces of grit
sticking inside your grips and
scratching your blank! Includes
instructions on how to build your own
custom reamers.
