I take a cut off wheel or stone similar and cut the top in. Then different burrs to get the rest of it in. The straight wheel keeps the top flat.

You really don't want the top to be flat though.

If you cut the finger in with an AlumaHog burr, and stay down a few .001s you can finish the top with a very small burr in the right angle, and make a nice radius in the back.

These are the tools and burrs I use on fingers.

It usually doesn't end up totally flat by the time I get done. I have tried angled more and less on 288s. Seems the flatter ones were snappier.

I saw this guy the other night getting chips thrown in his face but can't see the teeth. Who knows?
