Larsen tube set?

Hi all- I was going through some boxes of building stuff today and came across a set of small stainless steel tubes that I purchased from Ron Larsen years ago. I can’t remember what they are used for and figured I’d see if anyone here knows. Thanks - Eric

Yes, they're for cutting the center hole in cork rings. They work best if you make a jig to hold the cork ring centered on your drill press. The jig can be as simple as a board with a shallow hole the size of the cork ring. Clamp it to the drill press.
