It is a long time since I last had a job that I could do in my shop and tonight I could do one again. The steel wear plates had to be countersunk (on their bottom side!). A few weeks ago I had already ordered the 1/2" die with a 1/4" pilot and I could finally put it to use.

This was after the first one was done.

And here the set is complete. The nice thing about countersinking steel is that you can hardly go too deep by accident.
It was already dark when I was done and so I planned to prime the aluminum and steel parts tomorrow after work.
