Cork grips

Hey guys, Where are some good places to pick up cork grips with a larger I.D. I.m trying to save time on reaming and all I see are the smaller I.D. such as 1/4 and 5/16. I,m sure somebody out there supplies them with the larger sizes like 5/8 or 3/4, but I just can't find them.
Thanks

If you'll pick up or make a set of the reverse pilot bits, you can bore your own ID in about 10 seconds or less. Beats the heck out of hand reaming and provides a straight, true bore.

We stock cork split grip sets with an inside diameter of .450 just for that reason, to make it easier to ream out for larger diameter butt sections.

Link is below to the grips.
