Hello all,

First, thanks for the tip on using a chisel to pop off the rivet heads. You
probably not only need a good quality steel for the chisel, but possibly
for your nerves as well! I DO NOT have a "reasonable" price source for the
cutter heads (5B). They cost about $120.00. A whole assembly, micro-adjust
tool holder and cutter is about $175.00. Still, by using a surplus tool
holder (mine is a Zephyr) you can save @ $50.00. The 3/16 cutter is cheaper
and possibly could be ground to 5/32 if the radius of curveture is the same
or nearly, probably not worth the trouble.
