No post since the 25th John...  What'd you end up doing?  How'd it go?

Subject: Hammer Boring Problem


Hi List,
I have a problem. The hammers I am installing, were supposed to
have a length of bore, that tapered from #54 to #88. They were
supposed to be about 1/4" less at #88.
I am supposed to have the action back to the customer on the
28th. Dec. I never thought on checking the hammers, when they
arrived from the supplier, since I have never had a problem before.
I should have followed Newton's suggestion, and supplied the
measurements.
I do not have a jig. Is it possible for me to make something, that
would allow me to do a passable job? I have a drill press, and a 
travelling vice.
Any suggestions, would be appreciated.
The 1/4" discrepancy is just too much.
Regards,
John M. Ross,
