A NICE SIMPLE RECROWNING SYSTEM

Howie, how does the wood tool hold up to cutting steel? I have a set of these tools. Before reading I looked at the pictures and thought you had a set for steel, but you mentioned wood. I do see you mention sharpening. I guess after doing a job they need to be sharpened... Is my thinking correct on that?  Frank

I've used them for stainless as well as mild steel but they need sharpening from time to time , for sure after using them on fiber glass , I don't know for sure but I would think they should be made of tool steel the same as a drill bit so I don't have any problem using them on steel. howie

Thank you Howie... I will be sure to use them then..... Frank

Carbide would be the way to go..and if the ID of the cutter would be a close enough fit on a colimator collet that would be a great guide.

I've never seen this counter sink in carbide and I've used then from 1/4 inch dia to 1 1/2 inch dia. their a woodworkers tool and they have a matching plug cutter that you can get to go with each dia. so you could plug the counter sunk screw it hide the screw.I would look in a woodworkers tool site for them not the depot or lowes. howie ps I've used them on everthing from fiberglass, stainless steel ,mild steel, wood and plastics.
