Hey everyone I forgot to order a reamer upong my last purcahse and need one for this weekend. I have stock or can make stock to use for the reamer im just not sure what to use for an abrasive. Can anyone recommend something that I would be able to find at a local hardware or craft store that could be used.

I thought about just using epoxy and sand etc but that just doesnt seem likt it would work to me.

Thanks

If you can find some carborundum grit or garnet grit, then coat your piece of blank stock with epoxy and then roll it in the grit and let it cure. I have made a number of reamers this way. Works great.

Casey,
1" utility roll or 1" sanding belt, split into 1/2" wide strips.
Contact cement onto your reamer stock.

Hello Casey.
Take a look at this:http: [www.youtube.com]

I use old cut down rod sections, coat them with super glue, then sprinkle sand on them. Sand. When it looks like I have enough, I spray it with a "kicker" to cure the glue. Works great. Make a bunch, different sizes. I buy cheap glue at Walmart. Nothing fancy.

Casey,
Won't help you today but might be a good thing to have around in the future.

I take a wood dowel Put a cut in the end with a saw then i take a piece of roll sand paper put it in the slot and spiral dowm and tape off at the end .It is then easy to change out the sand paper when needed.

That video was great. My only issue at this point is where to get the abrasive roll. Im not sure of any place locally that would have such. Any suggestions??

a round wood rasp works good
