For those of you who make your own ferrules:

What size slit saw do you use for tabs? Source?

Where do you find a #8 grobet file? (Ralph Tuttle)

I think my saw blades are .010 and .015. I got them from J&L. (Tony Spezio)

1) .010" x 1" with a 1/2" hole, J&L Industrial.

2) Jeff Wagner. (Mark Wendt)

Jeff Wagner or Bailey Woods (Custom Sporting Enterprises) handle the file. (David Van Burgel)

I use .008 in. jeweler's saw blade from MSC. Part number 73289084

The arbor you would use with that is # 08271314. This is a 1/4 in diameter hole in the saw blade. I usually use my 3/8 diameter blade and arbor, but I can't remember the number for the saw blade, but the number for the 3/8 arbor is 08271322.

You will have to check MSC for the part number of the 3/8 hole saw blade. The 1/4" saw blade will cut to a depth of .250" the 3/8 blade will cut to a depth of .312 which is better for larger ferrules. (Dave LeClair)

Oops, Dave's recommendation is the one that I use. He suggested those to me a while ago, and I forgot that. (Mark Wendt)
