I'm in the middle of making a Mont Blanc style and I need to cut a tenon for a cap. Despite my collection of tools, nothing fits into the space at the edge of the bushing. I have a Sorby narrow cut off tool then can remove part of the wood- but it won't give me a flat at the bottom. Of course I can cut down partially, remove the bushing and put a smaller bushing on, and then use a wider flat tool.
However, that seems like a pain if I'm doing bunch of them. Is it worth getting a special tool such as the one in

or buying a tool and grinding it down?
