Another excellent video from the master old guy. I love your videos. Thanks, Paul

Watched this older video, loved when you introduced yourself as just Tubalcain, good video on reamers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Posted over 11 years ago - thank you, i just learned more than I knew before watching this video.

Thanks for the informative video, TC. You are a credit to the trade.

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.

@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.

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!

a great video. your videos are most informative! keep it up!

Excellent series, thanks for sharing your expertise!

great video thank you so much sir. you are the best. 5 stars for you , and thanks again.

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.

That was truly interesting.

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.

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?

@psient Sorry--never did that.

@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!

I have some deburring reamers with a tapered shank, is there an adapter to allow me to use them in a drill?

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

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

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!

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

@silver760 Don't suppose you could list some of those companies, maybe with websites, could you please?

Is ground hog day real ?

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

I constantly try to educate folks about reamers,in my opinion one of the most misunderstood tools in the shop ...

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

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,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.

Thank you

Gostaria de entender o que vocês falam

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.

"uga duga uga" lol!

I once broke an adjustable reamer trying to adjust it...

Thankle

T=up

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

yugadugaduga

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
