Same here, 7mm and 8mm Tried the 8mm as I had an 8mm dowel pin the try in the hole and it's a nice slide in fit.
Hopefully the other will come in the next few days.

Thank god for that thought i'd been ripped off.!! . . .Again. . . . . . only 7mm landed so far. Maybe it's like those Monthly magazines you get one each month and in no particular logical order. LolQuote:

I got the 7mm one on Thursday and my first reaction was that I had misread the listing and it was only the 7mm one from a set. so I fired off a refund request and got the reply that they would refund £2 and I could keep the reamer. The rest of the set arrived on Saturday, so I cancelled the complaint and sent them a message that they were running their business in a twattish way (not my exact wording).
Either they are sending out from two different locations, or they have an idiot in charge.
Who cares ! The reamers are OK for the price.
Here's a question about reamers - I acquired a NIKKEN NCS tool bit that looks like a rotary broach, or a long shanked, downcut, slot cutter with a funny end, but it is marked 7.873 +/- 0.0126. I presume that this is calculated to make an 8mm hole. Am I right in this assumption ?

Rob,
They have to be to such a tight tolerance as they are made for putting candle holes in birthday cakes............................
Possibly a precision drill used prior to reaming, the tit on the end locating in a centre drill hole in the job.

I think it is a reamer, but an odd size at 7.873mm :beaten:

As I said an odd size, unless 0.31" has some engineering significance. Maybe its a 0.3" reamer for 10 thou oversize :worked_till_5am:Quote:

Strange delivery policy but then, in a world where I have bought a 78p digital panel voltmeter from China, delivered post free, who knows?
