Teflon Reamers (# of flutes)

[Bdshull@aol.com]

Daniel, Lance:

When I bought some Johnson Carbide was the supplier, and I was told they 
supplied Steinway.  That was ten years ago.

It is important to get reamers with enought cutting flutes.  It is possible 
to buy two-fluted reamers, but you need more than two cutting edges to obtain 
a clean round cut by hand.

 Before you do, check your favorite Industrial Supply Catalog for the 
reamers. I
 use MSC, and if I remember correctly, their prices were considerably cheaper
 than Steinway/Pianotek (after all, where do you think THEY buy them from??)
