    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 This
    is a great tip, and very timely, because it sounds as though, if you
    rotate the wire, it would put a point on it-- like for a pin. I've
    been looking for a quick, easy way to do this, instead of filing.
    Any other great ways to sharpen a wire? Is there a special tool,
    like a cup bur, that I haven't come across? Thanks!
