Hi Layton20. Please take this in the positive manner that it is intended.

i know you are a new member and are trying to gather as much information as possible to progress your build, but a lot of the things you are posting about have been discussed in great depth.

May i suggest that you try and use the forums search function first before creating a duplicate thread. if you find some info but still have questions on the subject you can then either start a new thread or post in the old one which will bring it to the top of the list again.

please don't take this in a bad way. i am only saying it because there are some really good old threads on the same subjects you are asking questions about. I wouldn't want you to not see them and have a problem further down the line.

There is a thread about this very subject here:

Add your name to the list and when the previous user is done with it he/she will post it on to you when they've used it. I'm just waiting for it to arrive and within mere hours it will be on its way to Twinturbo in Cumbria. If you get in quick you could be next on the list;) .

Click "Search"
Enter "Reamer" in key word
Click "Search now"
Bottom search result has a link - and probably all the other threads.

http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axminster-Handy-Reamer-23107.htm its the 19mm one.

Delivery is £4.95, item is £3.85. Get some drill bits or something to make the postage worth while.

Or put your name down and wait a few days then send it on to the next builder at a small cost.
