OK, but how did you chamfer the rounded end of the T-slot so neatly?

The slot is 1/2 wide and the C-Sink is 3/4" dia. On the mill in the center of the slot you plunge the c_sink in till you get the required depth and feed it out of the slot, I did feed it back in towards the center to ensure better finish. This was a 6 lip c-sink and I think it was cutting on one lip only. Someday I should look at this and see if I can sharpen it. I can post a picture of the c-sink if required.
