FYI: look up 'Schmetz Twin Machine Needle' on joann.com . . . same 'bit' @ $ 2.24/ea
SM ...have you used those from JoAnn's? I happened to be in JoAnn's today so took a look. They seem awfully small...even delicate.
The needles do look to be kind of small, the tool I use has a pretty stout pin in the middle with two smaller ones to each side. When I bought it, the owner told me not to use it for turning cork bodies, but I tried to anyway, and now I have a bit that is bent, and a half finished cork body somewhere in my garage. But I suppose you could use them in a variable speed dremel, which I do not have, so I need a tool that is stouter than the needles mentioned. But that's just my take, yours my differ, but be careful!!, Don't want to see anyone get hurt.
And I wear safety glasses when using it!
When tying my poppers I drill a hole through the foam near the bottom of the body with a 1/64" bit.
The I can put thread on the shank and some super glue.
Bits fit in a dremel tool.
