On the far right = side of your drawing is the end profile of the tool. I don't understand = the offset line bisecting the circle - I suspect it is the cutting edge, = but I guess I'm having a hard time picturing it - is it more-or-less = like a countersinking tool? (I'm sure a grinder dude would know exactly = what it is). Please explain. Also, I do not understand exactly what a = donut shape for the agraffe center is. I eat 'em so quick I never quite = notice their shape - and besides, shape would not affect their taste! Do = you go for a continuous arc through the agraffe center, or do you = maintain a 1/16" or so flat portion through the center as Roger Jolly = described? I have a 100-year-old Bechstein waiting for a rebuild in my = shop that has 88 of those little bad boys - they have been staring at me = for more than a year now and I have felt VERY intimidated (although I = have tried not to show it). Thanks big time!

We fax this drawing through to our local tool and cutter grinding man, = ordering four at a time (double ended). As Roger said earlier, you cut = from both sides of the agraffe. We use a small milling machine with = depth stop control, to ensure that we end up with a donut shape in the = centre of the agraffe. The easy way to check this is to cut a test = agraffe in half.
