Yes<br><br>

They are a precision depth device that holds the countersink. The pilot
on the end of the countersink helps hold alignment with the hole, and
prevents cutter chatter.<br><br>

Gene<br>
No that was for the micro-stop and counter sink<br>
<br>
But if you want to send me the Dzus fasteners and the panels, I will use
my <br>
Dzus tool and press them in for you.<br>
