Well, Willis Snyder utilized very high magnification photos of center pin bushings (clogged with verdigris as I recall) in some of his classes over the years.

Given that you certainly reamed many more teflon bushings in your work at the Manhattan School (likewise for Joel at UW-M), I will defer to your judgment that roughed reamers are AOK. Jon Page's suggestion of Joe Goss' reamers is also helpful; I've got those but I didn't have them with me yesterday morning. Thanks, Patrick
