Well, that just cost me a few bucks, and I sure won't do it again... My own projects, I try to use nothing but my own tooling... So I just bought a pair of reamers...
And thanks for the MSC link... I should have just checked there initially, and gone through looking for logos (which I did...) - Looks like it's from Cleveland...
