The spring parting tool is on page 7. The hole at the end of the slot is relatively small on it. The size of the hole isn't as important as the width of the material surrounding it as that is what constitute the spring.
Very true RJ! In my tool around the 8mm hole there was a thick wall of material that gave very little spring action for the tiny blade (1.5mm X 5.5 mm) that I use. The only way to make the sourrounding material thinner, after the initial drilling, was to enlarge the hole.
