They are counterbores, for creating a sink for cheese head screws to sit down flush with a plate or bridge when the screw is tightened down. Would get more use if you were making custom/replacement bridges rather than repair unless maybe if you needed to replace a screw with a bigger one because the plate threads were stripped. Probably not the only use in repair but I’ll leave comments to folk that know a lot more than me (not hard for sure) as to any other uses.

You can use them for milling down a replaced, too thick brass bushing.

Did you see the Bergeon price for a set?

But if I think about it, and to be really honest: they are of no use at all. Dispose them, you know my adress 😉
