Default Unique Need for Torx/Star bits.

Trevor, had you read my first post on this issue, you would not have made
your post.

Wrong, Wes.

I wanted to make one extremely long Torx bit so that I could saw it into
the lengths that I need.

Thank you for trying to help.

Then, not to put it too succinctly, you might be far better off asking
for lengths that you need, rather than a length that is not available,
that you intend to cut off anyway.

Almost every Torx tip I have seen was built onto the end of otherwise
plain rod. Either forged or machined. Dead easy to stick a cut off Torx
key onto the end of a rod.

Better to state your actual needs, rather than ask for something that
like as not, does not readily exist.
