Where can I get a 1:8 reamer?

[hooblah]

I can see plenty of 1:10 reamers for sale from china for peanuts, but nothing 1:8.

I'm trying to make a tapered hole for a ball joint. I don't know the exact size, but around 10-15mm.

Put 'ball joint reamer' into Google. Plenty of hits.

Your 1:8, I think equates to 1 1/2" per foot (12") which is another way they are described.

Thanks. Seeing as 1:10 reamers are available for <£10, I was hoping to find a 1:8 for similar money. The cheapest I can see is £60.

Ball joint taper angle

I want to re-taper some hubs for a different balljoint , but im not sure what reamer to get, Any ideas on working it out? the balljoint i want to use go's from 14mm at the small end to about 17mm where i want it to sit 15mm down the taper.

I've seen that. Are you offering me your reamer?

I'll probably break it and end up having to buy you a new one lol.

That would of been a speedy reamer that one of bobs. Few hundred new.

I'd rather cough up £60 than a few hundred for when things inevitably go tits up lol. Thanks for the offer Bob... Perhaps you'd be interested in doing a small job involving that reamer instead?

I dont mind doing it for you but you would need to send the balljoint with it.
