I cant help but think you are trying to tell me something. But as that could be so many things I'm none the wiser.

I'd been looking that them for a long time but being so tight couldn't come at the money.

I remember something about not sneaking up on size as there is more rubbing........ I guess thats easy enough to do when you're making 100off and can bin the first 2. If only we lived in a perfect world.

As usual with CTC - the items were relatively cheap and the freight was almost as much.

Yeah I read that too. But being a hand reamer they can't actually cut that much anyway.

Reams.. really!! lol and not just once, three times!

Anyway, with thanks to Michael that I knew what to look for.

Had to cross my fingers that everyone used the same threads as most aren't Sutton pilots. It seems they do.

I found two issues though.

1. I have two C reamers(one metric and one imp lol) and no D reamer 21/32-23/32
2. I have two B pilots

Still I have most of the bases covered

I have spare A, C(?) and D reamers

Michael

Hi Micheal,

Would your kind self like to have 2 spare C's and no spare D?

I assume they make pilots for A2, 3 and 4? I might add making them to the "one day" list and just scale them off the larger ones.
