Looking for some concave radius cutting tools ofr lathe. Need to form 5/32 radikus or 5/16 ball on end of set screw. Figure carbide best for joib.

MSC had them aT 60 BUCKS PER wondering if any have good source that might have better price?

Just grind a piece of high speed steel to the form you want.

Thought about that not sure how long high speed steel will last cutting into set screws which is accentually what these adjusters are simply 3/6-20 set screw with ball end.
