I just had to resurrect this...some of you will remember...
Some time ago I was having trouble fitting reamers into my little mill. And the advice from some members (some of you I reckon) was to shorten them.
And so I did.
I wished I'd realized you were funning with me.

Say it ain't so zee. Don't forget to add that chamfer to the end of the cutting flutes. ::)

If you ever get any advice involving the use of a prick punch, consult us before proceeding.
-
Nah - It'll be fine Carl - will just cut slightly undersize, and will produce smoother results if you add a light feather to the front cutting edges before use ;)

Hmmm.... Looks a little fishy to me... :thinking: :ROFL: But if it's on the forum it must be true right? :paranoia:
Cheers

So, it was Zee they were talking about when they made up the old saw;
"Cut it off three times, and it's still too short."

:ROFL: Almost got me Carl - but you should have fuzzed up the shadow on the l/h end of the cout off one a bit! :Doh:
-
Carl-
Where did you get the one on top with the extra long flutes? :???:

:ROFL: :ROFL: I enjoyed that.
Bill...Yep. It ain't so.
Marv...I was going to ask about the worry of a prick punch. But no...I don't think I will.
Thanks guys. Hope you enjoyed it.
tel...Yeah I tried to improve it before posting. Looked fine enough on my monitor but I wasn't surprised if it'd still show enough. Still...probably got a few people on first glance.
:Jester:
-
Oh yeah! :ThumbsUp: It had me at first glance, it was only on closer inspection ....
-
I couldn't see the photo at all at first....the firewall at work wouldn't let it in.....so you got me!

That is funny Carl! You got me... :noidea:
-
yep got me at first Carl :thinking: Hope you don't ask for advice on cold chisels

Thanks for popping in all. Hope it was enjoyable.
Just wanted to be clear about a couple of things...
The people who suggested I shorten the reamer, forgetting that I was (and still am) a newbie, simply didn't state it should be from the shank end. I took advantage of that to have some fun with them.
And if there's any question about that short reamer...it's a fake picture. ;D
-

Nope! The picture is real, it's the subject matter that is faked! :stir:
-
how did you do that ??? The shadow knows. actual the lack of shadows.
BTW how ya doing Carl.

Hiya Tin.
Glad to see you here.
I saw the tool box you got. I think it's nice. 'Americana' is the right word.
-
It took a bit of soul searching to decide to join. I am still active on HMEM . I decided there was no reason not to get involved here as well. The tool box was cheap enough I could not say no. I expect the guy still made a few bucks on it. I also expect that many of the vendors did not even make table fees that day. it Poured rain just a few minutes after I got the tool box to the car.
it needs a latch some yahoo probably took it off to scrap for the brass. Oh well.
