I need to fit new cam bushings in my 45, and found the special reamer in the manuals. Since I'd use this expensive tool only once, I looked for other solutions.
It seems to me that the reamer was designed for use in locations where a vertical mill wasn't available. I do have a Bridgeport style vertical mill and would like to use it to do the reaming.
I believe Tom Cotten once mentioned several types of reamers, and while I can do the measurements to determine the correct size, I don't know what type/number of flutes to ask for.
Anybody have experience doing it this way?
