Having a reamer to suit your mandrel is a good idea.


I'm setting up from scratch and as I'm not interested in slimline pens (at the moment) I've decided to use a 7mm system using a collet chuck and a piece of silver steel. I've yet to decide whether to buy the Chronos saver (and ream it out) make my own or make a "saver collar" that fits between the mandrel and a standard live centre. Can't do much at the moment till bits start arriving from China amongst other places!
