[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 305647, member: 9964"] Reamers have changed over the years. M7 tool steel and carbide have revolutionized reamers. Modern straight or helical cut, multiple flute, reamers are made to run faster than the older half reamers and 4 flute reamers. I ream with a high preasure, high speed flush system with Rustlic 255R cut 5:1. I have reamers that have cut several hundred chambers in stainless barrels. These reamers are still sharper than old reamers that have cut only one chamber the old method ream, clean and lubricate at low RPMs. I have all my reamers sharpened by Dave Kiff at PT&G.
