Ream Aileron Paddle flanged pivot bearing hole?

Postby dhogue » Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:28 pm

Hello,

Is it best to use a drill press to ream pilot drilled holes?

Any suggestions where to get reasonably priced reamer bits?

I found a .6980" reamer bit at Grainger for > $90.

Thanks,
Don

I have bought several reamers from Enco.

It is always better to use a drill press if you can, unless you are a Terminator.

Don, I did not ream, just pressed the bearings in place.
