Cable never saw a stardard measurement, most US sights are standard to take a 60 degree dovetail cut. Just use a 4 flute center cut end-mill 3/8" dia. then add your 60 degree dovetail cutter to widen as necessary...then you still might have to use your 60 degree safe side file for final fit. Cut short and finish with file to be safe.
If you don't have that file they are available from Brownell's
