Andy; once I get my mitts on a couple turbo plugs(have to order some now)..Maybe I can grind, a drill bit for you,to experiment with..I realize, the thread is for, the average guy ,with minimal tools,but a bench grinder, and a Drill bit ,is something most fellows have near by,with a drill press, too.Would kind of like to see, what you could do with that bit.I don`t have any Glow heads ,or buttons to try this out for myself, YET,or I would..It`s definitely nice to know, that once ,the factory made stuff is gone, or burnt out,We have a solution,to keep our little engines going.

Hi Dave,

My concern would be to get the correct angle and rake,,, if that's what it's called. Such a bit might have too much bite and snag. You can see the logic in the way they make the counter sink bit. And, the Phillips bit also has this limiting factor. BUT you never know. No doubt though, that the engine makers that offer this type of head have precise, custom made tooling.
