Ah, silly me. I was thinking about the washers between the scales and the shank. Sometimes they're domed as received. Thanks though.

Thanked: 3215Just smash with a hammer, usually the hole does not change, if it does ream with a drill. If you buy a 1/16 in bit with the hex shaft ($3 at Lowe’s), you don’t need a pin vise.
I get them as flat as possible, the ones in the cup have been flattened.

These were ordered from a European provider, and the convex/concave shave seems intentional.

Thanked: 315Thanks for the suggestions and information so far. I think there is something I'm going to try before I spend >$30 on a dapping block and punches.
Is there anyone that sells larger 1/16" washers, or are the "#0 wide" from microfasteners going to be the best I can do?

Thanked: 3215I have seen some, about $1.83 per washer, with a 100 unit minimum. Much cheaper to buy a punch & die set and make your own.
