I took my reset tools for the .049 and .020 to a modeler friend and had him make up one for my .010's. He drilled out a block to support the piston and made up the shaft from an old drill bit. He milled the end to a concaved shape and cut a slot into it for the rod clearance. A very cleaver modeler and got a nice bottle of wine for his trouble.

Actually, I made one up out of bar stock steel. Didn't hold up. A drill bit sounds better but it sounds like you need carbide bits to do the work. Don't have a lot of carbide bits. Maybe Dremel type grinding bits will do the trick. Hey, might try again. Thanks.
