I'll see how my Ryobi does. (I still have to figure out what Aluminum
Oxide wheels to get for it).

Ok. I didn't know I could practice on HSS using the OEM wheels.

Sure -- they are not the *best* wheels for the task, but they

i haven't ruled out plastic injection molding for some of these.

Remember that you need something a bit stronger than the
injection molding itself for the threads. That is why the inserts are
molded into the better MSC ones.

Good Luck,
