Economy Bridge Pin Hole Reamer

Made from the cut off of a file (Nicholson in this case) ground to 5 degree. The edge bites real well to clean thin shavings off.

I have done this but with the hard part of the file. I just assumed the tangs were too soft to make a cutting edge. Most tangs bend very easily.
