Making some aluminum parts that have two 1/4" dowel pins and need a "no slop" (for lack of a better term) fit.
The pins are 0.0002" oversize but the closest oversize reamer I can find is 0.0005" over. Won't this make a sloppy fit? Especially that reamers tend to cut slightly over anyway?
I did a test piece and barrel lapped the holes until the dowel pin just went in and the mating parts fit was perfect, is there a way to get this with reaming? Or am I dreaming?
