There are some large feathers for the 32mm to 34mm hole. Thing is, from my observation, they work no better than the small feathers on this granite. Line of small holes with matching feathers is "it". Problem is the compressor isn't running all the time. Would be in a working mine, but this is a "hobby" mine. Splitting rocks and clearing debris is like an infil job which comes when it comes. Takes several people and some time to get the compressor running. Not going to happen when you find yourself with some time mid-way through a club morning at the mine. If I could make some wedges of the same taper but thinner, maybe could come down to a 12mm / half-inch hole Area-ratio, so proportional to diameter-squared (/f (expt 14 2) (expt 12 2)) ;; 1.3611111111111112 (/f (expt 12 2) (expt 14 2)) ;; 0.7346938775510204 73% of the area. Would be well worth having. Yes absolutely {thumbs-up} Best wishes, Rich Smith
