I guess it's all in the language used.
Here we would refer to that tool as a 45deg countersink. The taper on my vintage nuts I measure @ 60deg from the centerline, so you would refer to them as having a 120deg. taper? if I am understanding you correctly.
Also your english is much better than my non-existant german.

Thanks Craig

Anybody want to start a thread about Fed-Ex delivery??

Fed ex says they couldn't deliver yesterday due to weather.

So, how WAS the weather in Provo yesterday? Blinding snowstorm?

Anyway David, sorry for the delay! As of now status is still "on the truck".

The weather in Provo was fine; I drive there no problem. UPS delivered to Kirkham twice yesterday. Go figure.

Just arrived! I just unpacked the box. I guess FedEx drivers need to learn how to drive in the snow...hahahahah.

Frankly, this is the first time we have ever had a problem on an overnight shipment from any of them, UPS, USPS, FedEX. In 14 years, I wouldn't say that is too bad.

I am buried right now but I will measure them all up soon. I am dying to find out what is going on.
