Carbide bur forms 3

[Voyager687]

Can anyone tell me of a supplier of carbibe burs that have the following characteristics:
1) 1/8" shank diameter
2) Single cut
3) Flutes can be either straight or low helix
4) I need both 60 deg. incl. angle and 30 deg incl. angle
5) Flutes must terminate in a sharp point or at least
with a very small flat(.010" to maybe .020")

I've looked in most of the usual catalogs ( MSC, McMaster-Carr, Gesswein, etc.) with little luck. What I really need is info from someone else who has actually purchased burs like these.

Both Midwest Cutting Tools Inc. and Menlo Tool Company, Inc. will make anything you want for a price. American Carbide might have something in stock, but not the 60° angle (IIRC...)

They are single point, not burs.
