ajustable reamers

Nov 17, 2005 31 Replies

Evening all, Question, would it be prudent of me to buy an ajustable reamer or a selection of fixed sizes ? ( Ive never used an ajustable one before) Best regards Pete.



It would certainly be prudent for you to realise that it's spelled "adjustable" reamer. Whether it would be prudent for you to buy any depends on what you want them for. For removing small amounts of material by hand from bores of non standard sizes they are ideal. For reaming multiple items to the same size on a machine tool they are not ideal.

The J&L own brand ones use the same blades as Taylor and Jones ones (the best) but at half the price. I commend them to you if you decide to go that route.

Cocky basket!

It might be better if you were to look up the past tense of the verb 'to spell' prior to criticising others.

'Spelt' is the word you require.

LOL This is "uk" rec.models.engineering isn't it? When did the yanks take over?

Strange site. They can't spell 'contributor' themselves I've never heard of 'clapt' as a past participle for clap, it's not in my dictionary. Sounds unpleasant to me!

And why is there only one monopolies and mergers commision?

And, seeing as we've started, why isn't phonics spelt fonix?

Ah, where would we be without rhetorical questions ?

And, why is there only one Monopolies Commission?

Why doesn't the word, "Palindrome" read the same backwards as forwards?
