Being new to the hobby, and new to this forum, may I start off with a question?
I have a brand new fully equipped Taig Metal Lathe with just about all the basic tools except reamers. As there are so many diiferent plans available for small engines with reciprocating pistons (air, steam, gas, Stirling, etc.), is it absolutely necessary to use reamers for a half-decent model? If not, what other methods are used for close fits?
Thanks
