Hi Craig,
The Timecert cutter has a shoulder on it to govern the depth of the insert counterbore. Dont' manually hold this back so the insert is dead-flush - all metal is elastic and a dead-flush insert will be slightly proud of the surface once the stud is tightened and everything gives a bit.
The stud goes right through the insert by the way and will bottom out in the hole in the head.
HTH, Hag.

Keith has my new RGS head and is , apart from other things, timecerting all stud threads ...having suffered from pulled studs before, when Clem sorted the lot with timecerts for me including the threads into the cases, I wouldn't want to take a chance, though I gather they are not indestructable 
so dust off the torque wrench...
