I have two 30mm holes that I need to bore out to 32mm and stay mostly-aligned. I'm converting from a plain bush to a bearing on both ends. I have a 2201 in my surplus pile and the other will be 6201, that should allow a decent amount of misalignment.
Unfortunately none of my equipment is big enough to set up and bore properly.
However, I do have a set of adjustable hand reamers available in the proper size. I've used them before to take off up to about 1 thou, but never tried to go out to get 2mm of clearance.
Would I be crazy to try it in cast iron? What are the limits for reaming in a reasonable amount of time?
