Default Tapered reamer for 1 ton - Loaner anyone?

Like the title says. Don't want to spend $70 on the tool to use once. If someone wants to mail it ill mail it back when done and pay shipping both ways through paypal. Shouldn't be more than a couple bucks.

Unless you're really tight with some people here, I wouldn't expect much of a response.

If that's the case, just buy the reamer, and sell it on ebay or CL to recoup some of the cost. Or keep it. $70 isn't that terrible...

I don't recommend that, the inserts wear out and get sloppy over time. Do it the right way.

Being a wear item, I doubt many folks are going to blindly lend a reamer out. It's fairly easy to FUBAR one. BUT, if someone does want to lend one out, throw me on that list.

Well i bought inserts already...am i able to ream after drilling 7/8 for the insert? Use inserts til they wear out? I have a drill press and plan on removing parts to ream if that helps anyone to lend me it!

Have you drilled anything out yet? If not, then just drill and ream for non-insert setup, and toss those things...lol

i reamed my knucks by hand on the jeep, a drill can easily go to far quick, then you will have to use inserts.
