I need a couple of flat wrenches, similar to those supplied with routers. (http://www.amazon.com/Porter-Cable-42596...B0009H5LQM)
I want 2" and 2-1/4". I don't have a torch, nor would I know how to use one... I guess I could machine them out of flat stock, but I'm not sure what to use. Would 3/16 CRS be adequate? Thicker aluminum? It seems to me that the router bit wrenches are hardened (at least, they don't like being drilled through.)
I need them for tightening and loosening a collet chuck, so it's not like I'm taking apart a bulldozer.
Suggestions?
