Sharpening reamer blades

[Col21Participant @col21]

Does anybody have any tips or homemade grinding tools they use for sharpening Taylor and jones type expanding reamer blades? Or what's the best to do? For example how do you get all six blades sharpened so they are the same hieght.

The only sure way I know of is to grind it between centers on a tool & cutter grinder.

Thanks might have to invest in one of them next. Would it work if you made some sort of jig with the correct angle and rub them along it on a sharpening stone. Just thinking out loud.

You would have to buy an awful lot of reamers before you got even close to the value of a tool and cutter grinder.

Works well. Don't have a pic of mine, but Giggle "Lansky" who make a fixture much like you need.

I've taken the blades out and laid them flat on a bench oil stone and rubbed them back and forth until sharp enough to use again. Works for me.
