Any tips on the operation of a ridge reamer?

[243]

I will probably rent one this afternoon and cut the ridge on my 360. I've never used one but the concept sounds pretty simple...but thought I should ask anyway.

Hi 243 and Tim...GEMOBX has a point...OIL...SLOW...rented cutters can be scared,out of adjustment,poorly sharpened, etc...Buy one and use it and sell it on ebay if you dont want it any more (or sell it cheap to me, I need one too)...Regards
