Y'know, if buying the reamer seems to be too expensive, and you don't have the skills to do it yourself, maybe this is not the right path to travel down.
One way or another, you should be expecting to pay out.
I'm pretty much what folks refer to as a 'cheap prick', but even I understand that when I cannot do something I want done competently, I have to peel back the screaming velcro on my wallet and just pay the man that knows what he is doing.
One thing about people that are lucky enough to be able to focus on acquired or natural skill sets is that they become extremely self reliant.
Socialist governments and their supporters find this to be the bane of their doctrines. Had to put that in, but it's relevant.
There is a big difference between being a "cheap" prick and being capable of doing the things we need done, without having to pay someone else to do it for us.
Many folks have just enough knowledge to have an idea of what they want done, but don't have the resources to acquire the tools to do the job and maybe also lack the necessary skills.
One way or another, recognizing one's own limitations is a huge step towards overextending our abilities by bogging ourselves down with to many "projects" or paying another individual to do the job.
Carving a wood stock was my first realization that I was just butchering a fine piece of Walnut. My old friend, Don Robinson first termed my efforts as those of a "wood butcher" He was dead on in that description. He became my go to stock builder, whenever I needed a stock fitted and I returned the favor by doing mill/lathe work for him, until he went to work for Weber and Markin. Sadly, he's gone now.
Cheap or Time constrained?? Finance constrained?? Ability challenged??
I've often found that it was cheaper to have things done by people that were familiar with the job than doing it myself.
