You can find lettered, fractional, decimal, and metric reamers at Wholesale Tool, and at most of the larger tool supply houses. Use letter "R" (.339") for woods, 3/8" for irons. Golfsmith sells them, as does B & M. What RK explains essentially is this: Don't use drill bits to enlarge taper tip hosels because of the likelihood of the bit hanging up in the hosel. Use the appropriate size reamer and a good quality cutting oil such as "Tap Magic." Clamp the hosel in a drillpress vise and adjust your drill press to the lowest speed possible - 250 rpm or so. Low rpms, heavy feed, and good cutting lubricant on a good cutting tool should do the job.
That's the way I do it and I'm pretty sure that's what RK said. If I'm incorrect no doubt he'll let me know in no uncertain terms ;-) TFlan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 9:13 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Walter Hagen Clubs > Could someone reprint the post where RK was writing about the reamers to > go from taper to parallel irons?
