Fiery Furnace Blacksmith - 4Piece Drift Set - MADE IN THE USA

These are my 4pc Drift Sets

There are four sizes of round drifts included in this set!

A 3/8-inch opener/drift (approximately 5-inches long)

A 1/2-inch drift (approximately 6-inches long)

A 5/8-inch drift (approximately 6-inches long)

And a 3/4-inch drift (approximately 6.5-inches long)

All four are made from new, round, 1045 medium carbon steel, stock. The drifts can be cooled in water between drifting heats without harming them so long as the drift temperature is below 800 degrees. (Showing NO dull red color.) If you quench these at too high of a heat, they can harden and break.

I decided to use 1045 as it is a bit tougher than low carbon mild steel, and will hold up better, but still allows you to water cool.

If the drifts ever bend, you can simply bring them up to a low heat, straighten them with light hammer blows, and allow to air cool. (bending can sometimes occur in the smaller sizes, particularly 3/8-inch if you attempt attempt to force the drift through, allow the drift to overheat, or hit inaccurately.)

The drifts are lightly sanded with 60-grit to provide a smooth drifting operation and feature a reverse taper on the struck end so they fall through the stock when you drive the drift.

I offer a wide and ever growing selection of high-quality hand tools to the blacksmith and farrier communities around the world, so be sure to visit the store frequently for new and unique products!
