Dave Kiff's cutter. It takes the same bushings as his reamers. You don't even need power. A few turns of the chuck by hand and you'll get a perfect crown everytime.

Jonathan,
I'm no pro but, I cut the majority of my crowns flat with no recess. I normally use an extremely sharp solid carbide boring bar with a small radius on the cutting tip. I cut them at 1000 rpm and make light cuts from the bore out. I have cut recessed crowns using this method, just set the compound to whatever angle you want, 45 degrees normally for me. Use a Q-tip to slide into the bore and remove looking for any strands pulling from the Q-tip indicating burrs. Repeat until the Q-tip comes out clean.
Hope this helps,
Med.

It appears your cutting tool may not have enough clearance on the lower side
Just a quick question. I have a couple of Dave Kiff piloted crowning tools.
Do you think that with the proper diameter pilot fit to a crowning tool, that the crown could be cut enough off center to radically change the point of impact? Like 5 minutes at 600 yds?
I personally don't think it is possible but thought I would ask others as well.
