I used to sell them but the place went bankrupt last year. Don't have access to them anymore so what I have I hold tight. I haven't found a replacement for them. I've sold several hundred of these things so there's a bunch out there.

yes kutzall does work but they're limited in size is the only problem. They make several grits.
Some other things that work...a cove bit in a drill press or lathe...get one with a roller bearing base...take the roller bearing right off and it leaves you a nice little guide for the center hole...
Spade bits...Take a spade bit in the right diameter and grind the spikes off the edges...works well.
Forstner bits...works well also..
ALL ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL THESE ARE SHARP TOOLS AND ONE SLIP CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

Montser Tool company makes ones that are just like Scotty used to have. Fastenall sells them along with their own brand. I use them in a drill chuck in my lathe. Work great but as others have said, you need to be carefull. They are sharp!
