Tapered reamers, looking for some information on the axminster tapered reamer as mentioned in one of the posts. I wonder if any one could possibly tell me the angle of the taper before I decide to buy one. I need one with a 1; 10 taper. Thanks in advance Tom.

What do you need a 1:10 taper for?

Most automotive applications are either 1:8 or 1:6....although there some exceptions.

ive used the axminster reamer and its a 1 in 8 reamer

Sorry slight hijack but does anyone know wht the taper is for the front hubs for a sierra is.

I was originally told my hubs didnt need modifying now im told they need reaming out slightly to allow they front wing stays to be fitted and have sufficient thread showing to please mr SVA

Thanks for the replies my TRE seems to be 1:10 could be 1:8 my measurement may not be totally accurate. It's an omega TRE if any body knows for certain. Tom

This is what i used for reaming out my sierra uprights worked a treat
