I'm off work tomorrow and I want to put some wilkinson tuners on an allparts neck I have but I need to enlarge the holes a little for them to fit. No big deal ...I'll just run to the hardware store and buy a t-handle tapered reamer.
Wrong
The don't even know what I'm talking about. They don't have one at any rate.
No big deal, I'll just run over to the building supply...no reamer there.
Sears...nope
Blew my whole lunch hour with no luck.
Got in my office and called several hardware and auto parts stores. Most people didn't even know what I was talking about.
I can get them all day long in eBay ...but I want one tomorrow.
U could drive the 120 mile round trip to Jackson and get one at the home depot, but I can't see burning $20 worth of gas and 3 hours of time to get a $10 tool.
I ended up getting a step drill bit. I think if I take it nice and slow I might not rip a chunk of maple out of the headstock.
