Whilst looking for chucking reamers, I stumbled across this on the Enco website
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PARTPG=INLMKD&PMPXNO=948457&PMAKA=368-6080
While expensive, this appears to be an interesting variation on the pen mills. The mill head has a 1/4" shank that is chucked rather then the 3/16" pilot shaft. These counter bores are used to mill the holes for socket head cap screws.
One frustration I have had with traditional pen mills is that as the drive force is applied to the pilot shaft, one is really at the mercy of those tiny socket head grub screws.
Anyone ever use these instead?
