Hey there folks.
Does anyone make chamber reamers themselves?
I've had modest success in the past making cutting tools - I've made "D Bit" reamers (the type in which you cut the reamer in half, and hone a slight relief on the cutting edge) in the past with excellent results. I've also made 4-flute custom router bits for woodworking -- not as successful, in retrospect, wood tooling needs more relief than metal tooling.
Thoughts, experiences, warnings, etc. always appreciated.
