I seem to remember being taught in school that metric countersunk Allen

countersinking bit for both, as here in the UK no one seems to stock 82
degree bits for ferrous material? Thanks.

J&L have them
http://www.mscjlindustrial.co.uk/CES...D/product.html
and maybe others if you search.

Chronos have a set, http://www.chronos.ltd.uk item XC310 .

Didn't take much to find them after going to their sites and searching
for 82 degree.

Thanks for finding me those, I have ordered the set off Chronos. My Google
search within the UK didn't find anything, I did try, but was too generic!


Appreciate your time David, thanks again.
