[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 292146, member: 2736"] +1 Very good advice !!!!! I do not have a flush system (One day I will) so I run slower spindle speeds (44 rpm and 77 rpm ) because my lathe doesn't go any slower. Dave Manson said I could run much faster with his reamers but with out a cooling/flush system I don't want to ruin a reamer. He also said that the way I am using them they should last 20 to 25 uses. so far the most I have used one reamer is 8 times and that thing will cut you if your not careful . I run the small reamers @ 77rpm and the big ones at 44 rpm because of surface speed of the reamer. I know it takes a little longer at those speeds but who's in a hurry. I also stop and clean after 20 to 25 thousandth of cutting and reduce it to 10 thousand when nearing the end of chambering to give the chamber a really nice finish. SO don't get in a hurry unless you have a high speed setup. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
