Mr, Pete, you educated me well on the subject of reamers. I bought my first chuck reamer to enlarge a hole in a double threaded pipe. I went slowly, used cutting oil and successfully reamed the hole to the exact diameter I needed. Your efforts are MUCH appreciated.
Hi Lolo (Grandpa in Tagalog), I watched the whole video and learned a lot. Thank you so much for taking time to explain to the younger generations. :-) I will buy my first reamer today and use it on my battery powered hand drill.
Thanks again for a great video. I always search your videos first when I get on youtube. I live in Northern Wyoming, just accross the mountain from the brother you mention from time to time.
Also, you can sharpen reamers, especially tapered reamers. You can sharpen straight reamers by grinding the cutting edge of the flute instead of the land. you may lose a couple of tenths but it is possible provided the damage isn't too severe.
Thank you very much for your great videos! It´s always pleasure to watch your new videos. We learn a lot from watching them. You have some dedicated fans in Sweden, at Stockholm PD, CBRNE group. We check for your new videos as soon as we get in front of the computer.
I really enjoy your videos and knowledge. I was wondering if you could make a video discussing vertical shearing tool bits. I'm amazed at the angles of that bit and how it actually works. Thanks again.
@BlackhillPunk One of the best companies is ARC Euro Trade,a UK company that sells good quality mostly Asian sourced tooling and machine parts,good prices,service etc.Another company is Chronos engineering supplies.For a huge cheaper selection RDG tools has a vast range.If you want to go a bit more up market Axminster tools sells a range from cheap upwards.Companies above these cater for industrial use,companies like J&L supply Ltd.Hope this helps!
@silver760 It does, thanks silver. I dont have a mill or lathe yet and dont see one in the near future being possible but been having some trouble sourcing things such as dti's, LH drills, good quality drills and bore gauges.
Would you consider making and placing a video on using a collet and collet drawbar on your lathe? I have a 16" SB lathe and someone just gave me the collet drawbar handlever type, but I know I am missing some parts such as the KO nut. Thank you. Any information would be great.
You class reamers as "Old technology" they are still very much in current use TC.We have J&L supply in the UK and avoid the like the plague as everything they sell is horrendously overpriced,I dont know what they are like in the USA but over here I cant think of anyone else more expensive they even beat RS components! I use a number of smaller companies that sell both branded and chinese stuff and their prices even on branded stuff are very competitive.
Hi: Could you consider doing a video on LINE BORING please? I have a need to do so on an air bearing fixture that was damaged in transit. I have tried to find something that will adequately prepare me for doing this on my manual lathe. However, I keep coming away with nada. Thanks for any consideration! Jon
Thanks for some great videos, Mr Tubalcain! I enjoy watching them tremendously! This may be a silly question. I'm about to hand ream some valve guides for my motorcycle, and I'm wondering what sort of lubricant I should use. I don't have access to any fancy stores with fancy products (I live in Vietnam) Can I make my own cutting fluid somehow, or is there something in a standard household that will work? Many thanks in advance!
I know you made this video a long time ago but I am getting materials together to make your Yellow Boy steam engine, I am confused which grade of straight flute hand reamer to buy, here in England UK they are marked mostly H7 or H8 which are the tolerances the H7 is a lot more expensive than the H8. Could you advise me Mr Pete if the H8 would be acceptable for reaming the cylinder for the piston or should I go for the the more expensive H7. The H8 can be bought for around £10 to £15 and the H7 £27 to £45.plus. Although I am a pre war baby I am a complete novice in tool room knowledge so would be most grateful if you could help please. If this model goes to plan I hope to make an horizontal version which you have made. Thank you for all your video's I have watched which I find easy to follow and no complicated drawings. Thank you Dave
@@mrpete222 Thank you Mr Pete for your quick and helpful reply, and thank you again for all your video's and taking time to help other's. You must have been a wonderful teacher. Kind regard's Dave. (UK)
It is not good for them to touch each other. But all of mine are used and have been banging around together since day one. I am not really sure it has Damaged them. There is really no way to tell
HI,TC hand reamers aren't exactly "old" technology,old in as ,yes they have been around since the begining but they are still widely used in machining and industry and still wildely available.
Hello Mr Pete. I have bought an adjustable reamer to create slightly enlarge hole for a sliding fit on a ground shaft. I know how to adjust the reamer but what is the best way to check the size of the reamer apart from reaming and measure the hole. The idea of bringing the anvils of a micrometer up against the cutting edges of the reamer sounds like a bad idea. Any advice welcome My best regards Chris
Thank you very much for two reasons 1. I occasionally have a need for a super accurate hole in material of considerable thickness and have had no real success. 2. I acquired a number of nice reamers and have only used them for de burring the inside of pipe after cutting it to length. Now I know their true use!
Well sir,If you are ever interested in selling me one of your used reamers I would be glad to buy one.I am in sore need of a 10 degree taper reamer. A 1/2" at the small end and a 1" at the big end would solve all kinds of control arm problems I'm having now. I use paypal or other.
Hi there, thx for the video. I am a hobby machinist. I am wondering why do you have to grind away the back edges of the reamer when chambering for 9mm?
Another excellent video from the master old guy. I love your videos. Thanks,
Paul
Many thanks!

David Damico Thanks for watching. glad I helped
I have watched many of your videos, and I have to say, it's always a pleasure listening to you teach.
Another great video! Thanks.
Jimmy Kelley THANKS
Watched this older video, loved when you introduced yourself as just Tubalcain, good video on reamers.
Posted over 11 years ago - thank you, i just learned more than I knew before watching this video.
Thanks
@@mrpete222still shaking that bush Boss
Hi...Mr. Pete...I learn my Reamers sizes today, your videos are truly amazing, easy to learn and understand. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻 :)
Thank you very much. My grandpa Peterson came to the USA from Sweden in about 1885.

maxandhetty why the hell would you use a precision instrument on a hand drill?
@@that1electrician
Well, at least he didn't say anything about using a two inch with a bit and brace. 😂

Reamers do cut on the ends, but only on the periphery.

Old motor oil or even lard
I have some deburring reamers with a tapered shank, is there an adapter to allow me to use them in a drill?
I constantly try to educate folks about reamers,in my opinion one of the most misunderstood tools in the shop ...
Yes, misunderstood but incredibly important and useful

@psient Sorry--never did that.
is it okay for them to bang around in a drawer or bin because they're hardened? it seems like it would ruin them. serious question. thanks

Don't suppose you could list some of those companies, maybe with websites, could you please?

No. They do not always have a square end old one. lol

why do americans still use imperial, do you not know of metric, throw all imperial crap out. it has ruined Americas export trade because of it
chippyjohn1 but it is more precise than metric.proven
It has ruined our export? Can I get an example?
They are just slow, USA signed the convention in 1875.
Please explainn how the metric system is lese accurate??
a great video.
your videos are most informative!
keep it up!
That was truly interesting.
