I can at least vouch that the bolt in the above picture wasn't a dremel homebew job tho. SP made a small number of these for the guys that wanted them. They offered the advantages of the softer face but didn't sovle all problems due to the way the bolt worked. There were more than 10 of them though...

That's what I was wondering. I can only assume that it didnt work too well though, since they were never mass produced.

The Angel One and Infinity soft tipped bolts I think would qualify as "dual durometer" (one of may favorite market-speak phrases that sounds a whole lot more impressive than "made of two kinds of material with different hardnesses") They've got a vinyl-like bumper that' is held in place and springs against a Delrin like core.

"Dual durometer" means "it's a feature, not a defect."

I'll have to nose around some of my team-mates angels. I don't think we don't have any A-1s though. The only other thing I have read of them is that the chinese weren't putting them together...quite the same as the previous models.

That would make far more sense :-)

I just have this habbit of when I'm the only Bill taking part in a conversation, thinking that people are referring to me when they say Bill - especially when the description fits (had a team sponsored by AGD, and did a white paper for TK on user programmable circuit buards during E-Mag development.) The danger of a common name - there are three Bill Mills just in the city where I live.

To return to topic...

Oh geez, i can see how that would be confusing. Yeah, i meant Bill Gardner, and i'm just used to everyone knowing that's who i was talking about, and i didn't even think about you being in the conversation, sorry for the confusion.
