I have some 7 barrels I need reamed and tapped for chokes. less expensive to get the tooling and access to lathe however it turns out the lathe has a .010 wobble in the chuck while I have access to other lathes not all of them have the distance between centers and I havent checked them all for wobble in the chuck.
using manson tru choke reamer and tap. not sure how to go about this.
got a floating reamer holder but the reamer doesnt fit.
piloted reamer and tap
2 barrels are ribbed though dont doubt I could get the ribbing between the chuck jaws.
manson recommends making a plug for chamber end putting that in a chuck then making a clamp to hold in your left hand while the reamer is put in a collet. recommended speed 55rpm.
unfortunately dont have access to palmgren which seems to make the job easier.
appreciate any idea's or help
