Conecutters to produce rough MT1 and MT2 shaped holes?

[old martParticipant @oldmart]

A little oil in the holes in the wood will soak in and prevent the rusting. The tapers should be wiped with a clean rag or tissue before fitting them each time and never assume they are clean, however they are stored. 

We are in the fortunate position to have inherited a MT2 reamer at the museum, so producing the holes would not be hard for us. If the final bit of reaming was done by hand, the hole would end up bellmouthed and the tooling would be less likely to jam in place.
