I bought a set of plans for building a model steam engine. The whole project uses all round, Square, and flat CRS and Brass. That is what got me interested in it. As I have most of the supplies already. After looking over and reading the plans I found that I need a 1” Reamer for the Cylinder Bore. I looked into a 1” reamer and found that the shank is 3/4”. My biggest chuck is 5/8”.
What are my options for getting the bore of the cylinder to spec if I can’t get a reamer that fits my chuck? The design of the cylinder is also a blind hole.
