    I like the idea of back to back disks I'll have to try it. Instead of
    the snap-on discs I use discs that have a centered hole for mounting
    with either a srew mandrel or better yet special mandrels that one
    can just push on a built-in pin and the disc is held fast by
    friction. Thee are two different styles that I am aware of. 

    I also mount two discs face to face on a mandrel and rotate the flex
    shaft very slowly. Holding a wire in a pin vice I create a long
    taper at the end of the wire by inserting the wire between the
    facing discs as they rotate. This works better for me than filing a
    tapered point for insertion in a drawplate. Try it, you'll like it.  Joe Dule
