Aside from the robot nipple thing, you guys are onto the basic function, but as herfotoman said, for what?

I will say this is not some obscure engineered component for work, but I did find it AT work. I'm pretty sure that if you work in an office, there's probably one of these there too.

Looks very similar to the retainer clip that retains the lock on my mechanics' toolbox (and the seat locks on my motorcycle), I suggest if it is found in the office, it retains the lock for a desk drawer or cabinet door.

Oh, I remember those. For the longest time that was all I used at home.

But, this is not what is pictured. This item is about 43mm long...

Robot nipple tweaking tool designed for a power drill?

It's a chamfer cutter/deburring chisel

04/28/2014 09:23:50 AM · #6418

It looks to me like it would be good for drilling holes in plastic or plexiglass.

Yes. it's commonly used for that, though it's called a countersink. They're made in various diameters and angles and are typically used by machinists.

So, again, your turn.

The angle really makes a chamfer. I've found that step drills (Uni-bits) are pretty good for plastics.

Thanks for the tip about the unibit. I use them often for drilling conduit holes in plastic electrical boxes. For hard plastic like plexiglass, running a regular bit backward melts it's way through without cracking the plastic.

Aha! Never thought of that. Would be good for plexi windscreens...

Hmmm all of the countersinks we have here are fluted.
The guys call the ones with a hole through them a chamfering tool�oh well, po-tay-to, po-tah-to
