    Default Bore reamer (fitting wheels)

    Hello,
    I need a bore reamer (adjustable blades) size 'N' which is 2-7/32 to 2-3/4. I need to open up a wheel centre bore from 66.1 to 67.1 mm diameter. Does anyone have a reamer I could borrow or rent for an hour? I live in south Calgary. I'm also going to call AWR tomorrow to see if they can help. Thanks all!

    it should really be done on a lathe not with a power drill
    Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

    I agree, is that something that you can do/would be interrested in doing with your equipment?

    I've done it with a straight up dremel bit by hand and it turned out fine. re balanced the wheels though. Basically made no difference to balance because the material removed is so close to the axis of rotation.
