I have a harley engine nose cone bushing that must be line reamed with the right side crankcase. The pinion shaft bushing in the nose cone is in a blind hole. I fabricated a pilot sleeve for the bearing race of the crankcase to line ream. I plan to use a chucking reamer as there is not enough room in the bushing blind hole for a hand reamer to get past the taper.
It would be very difficult to anchor the crankcase/nose cone assembly nose down to my milling machine table. Is it feasible to machine a square end on the chucking reamer and use it as a hand reamer?
