[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 16454, member: 49"] [b]Funny Sizes[/b] I guess Vincent just followed the standard set by Burman and Smiths respectively. It was common-place in those days to use weird shaft sizes, bearings and threads so that the world had to come back to you for spare parts and refurbishment. Alfred Herbert in Coventry (machine tool components) was another one who favoured this approach. If you can still find a Company locally who regrinds tools, it might be worth getting him to make you a 0.702 parallel reamer from a std one - e.g 45/64ths (0.7031) or 18mm (0.7087). I don't have one either - so I might just invest in one too. Peter B Bristol, UK [/QUOTE]
