Hi, Lee. A reverse countersink tool. Shaft: about 3/4 inch long, and less than 1/8 shaft diameter. I forget the angle of the bud... I'd have to measure a spool crank screw later this morning after I wake up.

I'm Good..... I changed the search trem to counterbore from countersink, and learned that the aviation tools supply folks carry these things.
If anybody else is looking, which see:  http://www.panamericantool.com/reverse-spotfacers.html

Now, Im' one better... I scored all these these off the fleabag, stamps in, for less than 2 would have been elsewise. All I need to by now, is the pilot rod, and they run about 3-5 dollars.
