Small taper reamers?

168 forum posts 26 photos | Hi, I must first say that I am not currently making this and I know many will say to go and just go and buy one! In LBSCs account of the Mona injector, for the divided combing cone, he talks about using a 7/32" dia brass rod, drilling it with a No. 72 drill and then opening it out with a 3/4 in tapered reamer. My query is, firstly 3/4in is too large for a No72 (0.026" hole and I don't see any small reamers advertised anywhere. I would be grateful for your thoughts. Thanks, Dave Edited By David Haynes on 27/10/2012 08:50:44 Edited By David Haynes on 27/10/2012 08:51:19 Edited By David Haynes on 27/10/2012 08:51:41 |

Neil Oops that's "profiles" not "proles" - I don't want to be mistaken for the Chief Whip! Edited By Stub Mandrel on 27/10/2012 18:46:04 |

189 forum posts 30 photos | In Shop, Shed and Road Curly gives instructions for making the taper reamers for injectors from 5/32 silver steel and refers to one as a 3/4" which is made by setting the topslide over about 6degrees to cut a taper 3/4" long on that diameter stock. Another one is 1 1/8" of taper by setting over 4 degrees. He later refers to the first one as a 3/4" reamer when making the combining cone. Makes it sound so easy doesn't he ? Andy |
