i used a few drops of 3in1 oil whilst cutting, not alot but enough to just "help" the reamer.
as for stainless steel, i honestly don,t know, sorry.

cheers
andy

hmmm you got me thinking there andy , maybe i shouldnt use stainless then i know from working with stainless that its harder to drill & cut so i dont want to risk braking the reamer & i was also thinking rust building up between the two metals. so what did others use for the mushrooms?
thanks

i was lucky with finding my mushrooms, £5 for the pair off centered hole too.

they look like they are made from high grade steel .
