Default Where to buy single flute countersink cutters

So I inevitably snapped the pilot off my beloved single flute countersink cutter while doing the hundreds of number 40 holes on one wing spar. The other spar is now waiting. Only problem is, I can't seem to find a new one! My original came from Cleaveland, but they now tell me they no longer carry them and are out of stock of number 40. I have checked Browns, Avery, Yardstore, Wicks and ACS to no avail. Googled away madly and get nothing but false leads. Does anyone please have a source for these wonderful tools? I know they are extremely popular here on VAF.

Thanks.

Brilliant, thanks Kurt New cutters on their way along with a few other goodies. Very nice site. I can see how they flew under the google radar though, they call them zero flute

Exclamation

Careful, those seem to be mainly 82 degree and 90 degree countersinks, not the 100 degree ones we need for our aircraft rivets.

Default countersinks

MSC has lots of 100 degree countersinks, you just have to search carefully.
