the reamer is held in the center of the outer plate by four set screw. the holes that the bolts are going thru are a really loose fit I used 3/8 bolts I need like 1/2 inch holes for them to pass thru. there is a sliding center point that fits in to the center hole in the end of the reamer shaft.
the way it works is that the springs keep the reamer shaft pushed back against the center point while the lathe is turning the gun barrel if there is any misalignment in the setup its take care of by the reamer being able to float/or move around to take care of the misalignment.
I hope I got all that right. I'll post a disassembled photo in a little while.
