I have tried the grit reamers, and made some out of cloth backed abrasive bonded to blank sections.
I am looking to find out what the mass producers use for powered reaming, any help would be appreciated. Don Re: Industrial strength reamers ??

Don...can't answer your question on "industrial strength" but I've used both reamer techniques you've used,and recently picked up some Norton 3X sandpaper that I contact cemented to a scrap, and it works pretty slick. Plus you get and assortment of grit depending on what your working on. (I cut the sheets into 1/2" strips and spiralled it onto a scrap blank with a 1/4" gap between the grit).

my basic set of reamers is a set of three different sizes of rattail files. i cut the tangs of so i can chuck them in a drill. turn them counter clockwise and they cover most jobs. to that i have added three different sizes of commercial reamers i think i got from anglers workshop. i use these to finish up by hand if i need to.
golden witch sells a set of the rattail files of the most needed sizes. Re: Industrial strength reamers ??

Don,
The large manufacturers of rods use tapered steel rods with sharpened groves, like long teeth, in them. They put these in the chuck of a lathe and run the cork onto the reamer by hand. It just takes a couple of seconds to ream out a cork with these. I have several that I got from a rod manufacturer that went out of business but normally they are very expensive.

I got a roll of adhesive from Mud Hole and have several reamers of different sizes and still have a lot left to do a lot more
The grit can come off inside a cork handle and then scratch a blank when you slide it on??!! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
