Available in different sizes and different guide tips. The drill bit was and illustration but any thing of the pilot diameter will work. Allen wrench is for fixing the pilot into pace.

Maybe I'm being dim here Richard - but I don't get the point that you are making with the counterbore. How o you propose using it in relation to Tom's idea of creating a wedge shaped washer?

The end is flat. If the pivot hole is the same size as the centering pilot, the device may be held at some angle to the scale and thereby make a controlled ramp angle on which to set a normal washer. Best to have the scale in plasticine at the correct angle and use a pillar drill. Or best, even, turned by hand while held in a chuck.

I see what your sayin, thats similar to how i did my torrey geezer
But i counter sunk the micro screws and washers. Two between the tang and scales.

Reverse the bit, using the smooth portion of the shank as a bushing, or a piece of rod, file off the spurs, so just the flats are cutting and use by hand I think would work well.

Good idea Richard…
