No pictures today, but I spent some time turning out a blank for the chamber reamer.
I've made D shaped reamers before, and still have it, but I think I'll try my hand at cutting flutes into this one on my mill.
I think I've devised a way to clamp it to the table. Now I just need to figure out where to cut, how much to cut, and how to rotate it half way acurately. I'll probably relieve the backs of the cutting edges by hand with a stone, or possibly a dremel.
I'll accept ideas or suggestions on any of this, of course.
