After a significant amount of frustration in workflow speed and tool life, I decided I would have custom tooling made for my folders. My first batch of these were for 0-80, 1-72, and 2-56 button head screws. Development took almost five months before I was satisfied with the cutting action. I had ten of each made, kept a couple sets for myself and sold the rest to friends. The feedback on these has been huge! Most want the 2-56 size so I had another batch of 20 made in the 2-56 size only. I am doing this as a service for other makers and if it becomes a pain to continue, I will stop.
These counterbores are professionally re-ground from new carbide 11/64" (0.171") end mills. The pilots are approximately .050" in length and are designed to fit a #44 clearance hole. If you need to put counterbored holes in Titanium, Moku-ti, hardened steel, carbon fiber, or Kevlar, these will save you a lot of time and frustration. They are not really a good option for soft steels, aluminum, bronze/brass alloys, etc.
Price is $40 each plus $5 per package for domestic shipping. Paypal is fine or you can send me a check. PM or email me at ohlemannr@hotmail.com
Any questions, please ask.
