    Stuller offers two cone burs in their catalog. The H.S. cone listed
    on pg.71 is too wide. The pointed cone listed on pg. 69 is closer,
    but too narrow. ( This sounds like Goldilocks and the Three
    Bears...) "Then the setter tried the 17 degree bur and exclaimed
    'Ohhh, this is just right!" 

    I have been using the narrower HS bur for years, and it almost works.
    With a little wiggling, you can get a good fit. With the 17 degree
    bur, it is always a perfect fit. I have no idea why the bur guys have
    been making a cone bur for years that almost matches the angle of all
    the tapered heads, when they could have easily made one that matches
    perfectly. Life is full of questions like that.
