I received my reamer today, and it worked perfectly. It is very precise, and I did a little at a time with a spindle check after each ream. I ended up with snug fit with no play, and I was finally able to place the record over the spindle without undo force.It was $11 for two sizes of reamers. The range of the tool I used was 1/8" to 1/2".
Thanks for the suggestion. Bill.

- The 9/32" drill bit is probably a good size for almost all spindles, but - alaskahiatt 11:52:01 04/22/21 (5)
