Sandray Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good Day gents, reviving an old thread. is anyone still making drippers? Whilst making the shot dropper is well within my ability, getting drippers drilled is beyond me. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandray Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I Have tried with hand tools, I do not have a pillar drill or access to a lathe. Having destroyed a quantity of cobalt bits, I think it wiser to see if anyone does them to sell before I squander more cash on bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size shot are you looking to make and how many drippers do you need? I may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a set of No5 and No 6, possibly No 7 I do understand that the bigger shot is harder to produce but I am willing to try, after all rejects can be recycled.

I would recommend one set of no6 to begin with btw. Probably the easiest size to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandray Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Folks, I would like to give a very big thank you to Sitsinhedges for his time making drippers for me. Considering I have not been a member of this forum for any length of time, it is very telling when someone takes the time to help like that. Thank you very much indeed.
