And it turns out when googling, that part number is a 1/16" radius bit, 
no damned wonder its not  doing the job!  Amazon miss-described it.  
Thats twice they've bit my ass in the last month.

And the only hit I can get on a 1/8" radius pointed round over is at 
Carbide Processors, at $108 a copy that is un-obtainium personified!

Does anyone else have better google foo than that?

I have some diamond burrs for a dremel. I might be able to make these 3 
$13 versions into a more pleasing profile on the toy mill.
