Chambering issue - flutes loading up uneven

Mine charges about 2/3 the cost of a new reamer same as the reamer company does No shipping and one day service and if I want a change it don't matter . And this special tool things as you call them the are centers Bless your heart. Larry
They're takin' you for a ride, Larry. Manson charges $30 to sharpen. Add shipping both ways and that brings it up to about $55. A new SAAMI reamer from Manson, with removable pilot, is $130 +$12 shipping which brings that total tp $142. Now, unless my calculator is wrong, $55 is not 2/3 of the cost of a new reamer. And if you have to have by the "next day", it just tells me you don't know how to plan ahead.
 
Hmmm...................as soon as that "one cutting flute" wears down a little you'll have a new sharp reamer.:rolleyes::D
Yep! You'll have a reamer with one dull flute and 5 sharp flutes. I buy chucking reamers that cut on all flutes. If I order a chambering reamer, and it only cuts on one flute, I'll send it back. If I have that experience more than once from the same reamer maker, I found a different reamer/tool maker. If I've paid for "first class" tools, I expect first class tools (and service).
