I assume you mean the Flex Coat ones that are spade bits with a short section of rod on the tip?

You can make your own. They sell a kit with the tips and you use your own spade bits.


I bought the set of completed bits. Worth every penny.

i read you can use a grinder to sharpen the backs/top of a paddle bit. Then slide the shaft of the bit through your cork and insert into a drill. Fire up the drill and pull the bit through. I have yet to try it, but i'm pretty dang close.

Matt - where did you find the kit?

I'd guess any Flex Coat distributor can get them for you.


I bought my fully competed set of bits from Bingham Enterprises.

I bought mine by the piece to ease the pain of the price.

For the size rods I build, all I need was three. If I get into bigger rods its jsut another $15-6
