If you click on his username and view his vistor comments he replied to one of them recently with an email. Its tricky on this forum to contact ppl as it seems you can't pm unless you pay $.
 
What do you guys use to cut the pivot pin holes, axis holes, and the spring recess so cleanly? I have been trying to make some scales for my 523, my 581, and have ruined some otherwise 4.0 scales. Lol. These materials are expensive too. Help!
 
I don't have counterbores so I just use a drill. They come off my drill press clean but I have to be real careful that the bit is centered in the hole for the pivot initially.

A drill press; with step bits for the pivot and screw holes.
A drill press; with standard bits for the axis hole.
A dremel for the spring recess.
 
Sweet! Thanks for the info. I have a decent step bit, and a brand new dremel 4000. I guess I'll have to go get a press adaptor for the dremel and I'll be good to go. I had been filing the cuts out with some jeweler's files, but that takes forever. Ha!
