[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 710960, member: 25383"] Never opened a die with a wooden dowl rod, but have used that process to remove metal from stuff before. With a Die and the actual short length you working with, a Sunnen hone is the way to go if you have one handy. Nice and strait with a nice suface finish when you get done. The hone simply follows the existing bore. An even easier way to do this is with a small boring bar like you use in a jig bore head. Setup a dial indicator after you first touch the suface, and make your cuts in reverse (from the inside of the die out). I like the hone process as the setup takes longer to find the right diameter hone than it does to do the job. Probably a dozen different ways to get to the same place. I did my first one on a B&S #13 grinder with the die chucked in a three jaw chuck. gary [/QUOTE]
