Dear Susan Hairsplitter and Richard Rex, And _I_ am too erudite? Actually, "safe and colorless" describes entirely too much of too many things these days - from dictionary definitions to, (dare I say it?), musical performance. Anyway, the reason I do not use the tapered reamers (hah, thought you'd got me, did you?) is precisely because they are tapered. Regularity was the reason to experiment with heated broaches. This goes to Don M's observation re: the importance of consistency in the pinnin of the hammer flange. Which Richard was that, anyway? I was a dolt. II loved his horsey a bit too much. III - well, depends on to whom you wish to listen. (Remembering, of course, that the popular viewof him handed down to us was thoughtfully provided by someone with the clearly vested interest of trying to please a very Tudor monarch.)
