For those of you who are interested in gunsmithing this is a good article.

Even if you have no interest in firearms, the techniques could be adapted to other types of reamers.

Excellent resource...that one went right into my bookmarks. Thanks!! :thumbup:

It occurs to me that since it's sort of firearm related that I possibly should have posted it in the ballistics section.
I'm sorry if I did something wrong and if it's not suitable for this section would one of the mods please move it across.

Corvus,
You did nothing wrong. It's easy to fix. Your wish is my command. Moved to the Ballistics section.

Great find! :headbang:
Information seems to be good too, after reading around a bit. The part about chambering is according to good practices and outlines the whole process very nicely!
Also recommended!

Thanks Boss or should I say Genie :D
Having chambered quite a few barrels over the years so I can vouch for the info. The floating reamer holder is an excellent idea. I have a commercial version, but the one he describes is more than adequate and a lot more cost efficient.
I have previously made some chamber reamers but they were the half reamer type, where the profile is cut in half and then sharpened, these work well but I always wanted to make a fluted reamer.
For a while now I have had a project idea for a .45-70 and as soon as I find a decent barrel blank I may look at making the reamer like this.
