    Now that is a very good way of performing the task with out having a lot of bore size specific bushes.
    Good job!

    Well, technically, you made a broach.

    A definition of a broach (Merriam Webster):

    any of various pointed or tapered tools, implements, or parts: such as a cutting tool for removing material from metal or plastic to shape an outside surface or a hole

    Clever implementation, cut just what you need rather than the whole hole...
