Ok who knows of a decent tool maker,I have been rooting around trying to rebate rims and deepening extractor grooves on some cases and its wearing me thin.
I have been enquiring about having a tool ground up to do WSM to BR and BR to PPC.................one tool to do the lot,I have spoken to a couple of places and they either are not interested or as soon as rifle is mentioned they are scared of the liability side of things.
I have tried and failed to make one but thats no surprise,anyone know when I can get this done?,is anyone on here able to do this?,it needs one edge of 0.05 to 0.06 wide and a leading edge of about 36 degree's.....................I am happy to do the rim dia as a separate operation ,it would be shaped like this /| but with a cutting edge at the top.


Regards Chris.

Righto, your tool is double ended. When I read the drawing I took the 36* from perpendicular instead of from the centerline of the case. Sooooo, if you think I fucked up when you look at it, you're looking at the wrong end. Image

Just a thought. The tool is 3/8" square. Is that ok?
