Reamer Sharpening Fixture

[PJs]

I'm running out of superlatives Doug, but it is beautiful and works like a charm. That fit on the pin was @¿@...nice, to say the least. Kind of a dedicated spindexer but the the no-lash nylon washer and gravity latch are excellent touches.

I'm not however running out of questions. ~~ Always been curious as to the price of reamers, (expensive in my book) is it worth sharpening the flute to an undersized dimension?? I get that the cutting is done at the entry and the flutes act more as a hone, but have seen used ones with seriously worn or dinked flutes in flea markets and garage sales, and wondered if concentricity becomes an issue on a deeper ream due to the wear? Or maybe runout in the drive spindle causing it?

Always thankful for your posts!!
