Hi All,

Thought that a would share my experience with my latest tool - the Nikcole mini system that I came across and purchased. In short it comes with a variety of inserts starting at circa (0.019”) used for cutting small grooves both straight and radiused for things like o-rings seats.

This the product website for those that might be interested is below.

I had to cut some groves for 5/32 snaprings in some SS and while it is early days with this new tool, was suitably impressed.

Will post some photos tomorrow.

Cheers,

I have had mine for a few years now, like you originally bought for "E" clips in silver steel but great for a lot of other things too.
 
Adrian,

The Nikcole mini system is definitely a handy tool. I've had one for quite some time.

Arthur R Warner Co, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, sell a line of HSS inserts that fit the Nikcole tool holders.

Hey thanks for the link Chuck, haven’t worked out if they ship international yet but will probably pick up a few HSS as they would certainly be an advantage over the carbide cutters for interrupted cuts.
