    Gunsmithing advice re HSS milling bits

    Can anyone tell me if you are able to grind HSS milling bits to change their length or profile ?

    I'm wanting a 3/8th 60 degree HSS dovetail cutter for opening up an existing front sight dovetail to take a larger 3/8th sight base.
    Closest thing I can find is this 10mm one

    https://www.carbidenz.co.nz/dovetail...-10mm-hss.html

    Wondering if you could grind a little off the bottom then the shoulder width would come in a little from 10mm to 3/8th"

    Or even better would there be someone out there that actually has a 3/8th dovetail cutter mill ?
    And no Robbie at Gunworks doesn't have one as nice little things like that just get wrecked in a working gunsmiths shop.

    Cheers
