Tool maker/grinder

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.

Well done Glen, you should look at doing metal work type stuff for a living, eh ?

Gotta be happy when a mate can knock up something like that in no time flat.

Put a picture up please Chris and a couple of what you are doing, it will be of interest to those who don't know what out come you are trying to achieve.

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.

Oops, double post. Boobies.

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