Step 3Drill the steel rod
Drill a 6mm (1/4") hole down the end of your steel rod. Go about 6cm (2") down into the rod.
Stop frequently and use cutting oil to keep your drill bit healthy.
Actually I should have drilled a 5mm hole. I couldn't find a 6mm metal lathe blade at a reasonable price so I used tempered concrete nails instead. The nails only came in a 5mm diameter. Anyway the set screw holds the nail/blade in place reasonably well.
