Chip Detector
Received my new Chip detector from Amazon.
Made from stainless steel and has a strong magnet. Perfect size and length. 14mm x 1.5
A good buy at $9.99 considering the Rotax aluminum one is $86.46

Re: Chip Detector
Hi Brett,
FWIW, it doesn't appear to be drilled for safety wire. I suggest that it would be a good idea to drill the head for that.

Re: Chip Detector
Agreed and already done. Stainless was easy to drill.

Re: Chip Detector
Stainless is easy to drill? (Said not I.)
What was your trick/technique? A very serious question on my part. I've never had a good experience drilling stainless. Good on you.

Re: Chip Detector
I use a center-punch, a new (sharp) drill bit and some light machine oil. A low speed is better, so you don't generate any access heat.

Thanks Brett, I'll give it a go the next time I'm up against SS.
