  • would appreciate someone telling me what the tool is called so I can have an informed chat with a shop or framebuilder

    If you're talking to a framebuilder, they will know which tool they use for spotfacing, probably just an appropriately sized end mill, and the same (but smaller, obviously) for the counterbore which takes the tube nut.
