Source for 82 Degree Countersinks for Mircostops?

Question

Someone seems to have come across a huge supply of Zephyr microstop countersink cages, and they've been selling them in sets of 3 on Ebay for quite a while. (For an example, see item #230123084900). I've been wanting to get three cages set up for #6, #8 and #10 screws for a while.

I got a set, and they are in good shape. However, they all come with 100 degree cutters, which is standard for the aircraft industry where they are widely used. I'd like to retrofit them with 82 degree cutters. There aren't too many places I've found that sell the threaded cutters for these things, and of course, they only seem to sell the 100 degree versions. Some places will make 82 degree cutters up as customs, but that is both pricey & slow.

Does anyone know where I can get 82 degree cutters as stock items that would fit these?

Thanks!

Reliable Tools usually has a couple 5 gallon tubs full of them at any one time.

Keywords:  Unfortunately, they don't have any listed in their on-line store.  It  looks like Reliable gets a lot of cutting tools loose, and they probably  can't afford to inventory & list small items like this. Any other suggestions would be welcome. Doug White

Keywords:  Everything I found on their web site is 100 degree.  They could  presumably make/order 82's, but I'm hoping to find something in stock.  I  found a couple places that have a small selection of sizes in HSS.  I  need to figure out if the pilots are the right size. Doug White

Hi Doug, MSC lists them in 82, 90 & 100 degree. Look under "stop counersinks".Paul

Keywords: Hmmm.  I did a search a few days ago on countersinks and didn't find anything.  I tried searching on "stop countersinks" and also came up empty.  However, they have a new search engine from Google, and THAT worked.Thanks!Doug White
