Is it possible to resize a barrel lap? I want to lap a 1 1/16 bore. 1" and 1 1/8" laps are available. Could the 1 1/8" be turned down to 1 1/16"?
I have tried making my own "D" type lap without a whole lot of success. Getting copper with the proper ID is the problem. Also commercial laps are available in the $20 range and new sleeves are only about $15. You cannot spend a lot of time for those prices. I will also have to look into making my own sleeve for other sizes.
