Can someone please help me identify this tool?


Recommended Posts

I was watching a video on YouTube and they were replacing a broken dial foot.  After setting in the replacement they used some sort of hand milling tool with a hollow center to cut away the excess dried epoxy and make sure that nothing was protruding above the base of the dial foot.  I have the milling tool to cut the recess into the dial and have used it a few times without much issue, but I thought this was a handy little tool to do a bit of extra cleanup on the repair afterwards.  I've used a very thin razor to cut away excess epoxy in the past, but I'd like to locate one of these if possible.  Would anyone know where to source one?  Thank you.

I'm not sure if John suggested it but using a pin vice with sharp jaws can work. It might be possible to put an edge on the jaws. I'm about to try on a cheap sliding collar pin vise.

That's a pretty good idea.  I'll give that a try on my next one.  I've been able to use a razor blade under a microscope to get the job done, but it is tedious work.
