Bridge pin hole reamers
They're expensive. LMI has 3 deg and 5 deg. Which one is best / more common. I don't want to have to buy both.

Re: Bridge pin hole reamers
I've already got a violin-peg reamer. It has a 1/30 taper, which my toy drawing program renders as 1.91 degrees (that's the angle between the cutting edge of the reamer and the long central axis of the reamer itself, I presume). But that got me to wondering how the degrees in a reamer are calculated ... is that the angle the face is from the central axis of the reamer, or the angle formed by the faces of the cone (i.e the cutters)?
