Hi Troops
Many thanks for the advice & suggestions. Done a bit of a trade today .. swapped some Imperial ballraces for Machine reamers ..
We will soon find out if it's me or the hand reamers .. :D

Good luck Dave!
They really shouldn`t ha been clunked together. Dings on the lands = oil grooves in bore....... :bang:
Good to practice with though. :thumbup:

Very nice starter collection there Dave, a very good swap.
Now lets see if it is really the type of reamer that is causing all your problems.
By measuring these up, and comparing the readings you got with the hand ones should explain what we were on about with the taper lead in.
Dave D. is perfectly correct by the way. If you put each one in a small plastic bag, or wrap a bit of paper around them and tape it up (NOT in a damp environment, it can cause them to corrode, unless you give the paper a coating of oil first. Then the tape doesn't stick) will help to protect the precision cutting edges. If my good reamers are not in a plastic or cardboard protection box, a bit of dry drilled wood is used for a stand, again in a damp area, get some oil into the wood before using.

Hi Folks..
They are like that for 'illustration' purposes. When I got 'em they had PVC insulation tape wrapped around them, which had gone 'orribly slimy, as is it's wont. So, I cleaned 'em off with thinners. I must see if I can get some more of the plastic mesh sleeving, which is what I used to use. Dunno what it is called though. You've seen the stuff, looks a bit like co-ax outer, but made of grey plastic. Used in cable forms. Probably no longer made, like owt else that's useful :(

Edit .. Good Grief, it still exists .. memo to self: lie down in darkened room to recover ...
