These simple and affordable one-piece taper reamers can be used for several woodworking tasks. The small reamer (3/16" to 3/4") is useful to rustic furniture makers for back-tapering holes for through-tenon wedging (see diagram), as well as for general tenon tapering, being complementary to Veritas' Pro Taper Reamer (05J61-01) because of the overlapping size range. First-time Windsor chairmakers will find the large reamer (3/16" to 1-3/16") indispensable for tapering leg sockets.
The bits are 3-3/8" and 5-1/2" overall respectively with a 5/16" hex shank. The included angle of 12.8° on both reamer bodies matches the tenons made with the Veritas® Tapered Tenon Cutters. Designed for use in an electric drill, these tools may also be used in a traditional brace with an adapter. Weights - small 65g, large 170g.
