David Brown reamer instructions wanted

May 12, 2004 5 Replies

Has anyone here got sharpening & use instructions for DB floating reamers they are willing to copy for me? I've just received a bundle of these won on ebay, some of them will need a good coat of looking at. Some are duplicates of sizes I already have, so will be for sale again once they are sorted.



Thanks Tim

Tim,you took the words of my keyboard.I was going to post the same question last night.I`ve been throwing these things away for years and now I`m buying them again. If you get any info,any chance of sharing it,I`ll go halves on the cost. regards,Mark.

DB's are usually drill press material aren't they?

Have got quite a few so I'll have a lookie and see if I have the destructions in any of the boxes...

cheers D

I use them in the lathe, great for getting a decent fit & finish without a fuss.

Many thanks Tim
