HI all, I need some help. I've got a tempest pen kit. The bottom tube is 21/64 drill size. I can't find a 21/64 reamer anywhere, though, for my pen mill to square the edges. I thought I could make do with an 8mm/O sized reamer, but it's too big. 21/64 is approximately 8.33mm by my calculations; I figured the 8 mm reamer ought to work. But the 8mm reamer is 7.3mm thick. The inner diameter of my tube is 7.24mm. Go figure.
Anyway, has anyone made this kit and does anyone know where to get a reamer that will fit? The 7mm reamer doesn't seem to have a snug enough fit, and I can't find another size that is closer. I know sanding is always an option, but I'm not set up to do that and would rather just stick with my usual method, tried and true.
Thanks,
Eric
