I made just three reamers with the Flex Coat Reamer abrasive belt a few years ago, and those three have served my power reaming needs ever since. I used devcon epoxy to epoxy the abrasive belt on an old piece of fishing rod, and some golf club shanks, etc. Then, I epoxied some old drill bits into the butt end. That way, they chuck into my lathe really well, and I can ream my cork pieces in no time at all. It took a little bit of time to make them, but the pay off is incredible. The only problem is that they work almost too well. I have to really watch and make sure I don't over-ream.
