Not quite what you asked for, but perhaps similar enough?

Close, but I suspect that the angle is too shallow. From what I've read, the steep angle of a pencil gets the highest success rate.
Any other ideas?
I’d say you’re right. Steeper angle means more contact between the cambium

If this doesn't work, email me. I "think" we've got a set ( a cone shaped outside drill bit and the matching inside drill bit) that came from Lee Valley years ago. Not willing to sell, but you're close enough that loaning would work. I even "think" I know which box it's in, but checking would require excavation of multiple layers.r ranson wrote:

That's wonderful. I'll send you a PM.

I'm trying to get my head around this one. Exacto blades are usually high carbon and thin, so I cannot see how to reinforce it to hold up to drilling.
But also, having the blade sideways would mash up instead of cutting the wood of the hole, damaging the cambium layer, thus making the graft less likely to take.

When you stick your pencil into the sharpener and crank it with the handle on its other side, you’re setting into motion two cylindrical cutting blades. These two blades are positioned into opposing 23-degree angles to cut your pencil into a conical shape.

I take it to mean 23° off the axis of the cylinder meaning the triangular cross section of the sharpened part has 67° base angles and a 46° point, but it could mean 23° measured another way.
