Looking for a Milling Cutter for A Kimber 84 Extractor Groove

[dakor]

I am looking for a cutter to cut the extractor groove in my mill for a Kimber 84. Does anyone have one that you have used that you would recommend?

Can you use a woodruff key cutter?

Yes I can thanks. I ended up ordering a Whitney Tool 101008M42 Keyseat Milling Cutter.

Ok. Ive never messed with a kimber but thats what i use on a winchester so i figured it would work. Ptg also makes one

For rimfires I eventually realized that a standard end mill would work just fine. The large relief has the added advantage of giving excess lube a place to go so the boltface stays clean.

I just set the barrel in v-block and surface plate hanging on side of the mill table and cut between the lines on the conned breech. I made a tool from a hss bit ground to snugly fit the race way to mark the cut out area.
