    3 Corner reamer

    Using Click Spring's video as a guide I made a 3 corner reamer. 5/8" O-1 rod. 5C hex collet block, 5° angle block. Mill the 3 tapers. Hone on a diamond "stone."

    What To Use Instead Of A 1 Inch Chucking Reamer

    I have a hobby project that would call for a 0.750 and a 1.0 chucking reamer. These reamers would be cutting a mid grade steel mystery metal about 2 inches in length. Wanted to use these reamers to cut a bore used as a cylinder wall for a piston on a toy steam engine. Both reamers seem...
