<P><FONT SIZE=2>In aviation terms, the depth is measured in thousands. The fastener</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>should be flush. The depth of the cut is determined by the diameter</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the outside. You do not measure the depth, you measure the diameter</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the cut. Most cutters of this kind are 100 degree. They make others but</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>are special application.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> I have four Microstops, each is setup with a piloted different cutter:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Dzus countersink</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 8-32 100 degree Flathead screws</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 6-32 100 degree Flathead screws</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 2-56 100 degree Flathead screws</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Are the 8-24 or 6-24 cutters different? Is 100 degrees the "common" angle</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for what you'd typically buy from a bulk supplier like Lowe's?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> > How do you measure how deep the tool will go?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I use a vernier caliper to measure the depth of the face of the screw or</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> rivet below the surface.</FONT>
