K/L Frame Yoke Facing Reamer

[AJR337]

It looks like Power Custom stopped making them? Anybody know who else makes them / where I can find one? I did some searches but didn't find anything.

Did you try Brownells?

 

[AJR337]

Yes, I checked Brownells, Midway, and Power Custom's website... checking Ebay next.

What I used for a J frame was a Lee case trimmer cutting head and a Lee case trimming pilot modified for length & diameter.

The store bought K,L, & N frame trimmer has a pilot 0.310 in in diameter, my J frame tool has a 0.214 in pilot diameter. 0.215 would probably be more in line with factory spec. I expect I turned it down from a pilot for .22 center fire cases.

There's no makers name on the store bought tool, but an old Brownells catalog shows Power Custom as the maker. You might contact Power/Grand Masters LLC direct and see if they've got any. Brownells may have dropped the item due to lack of demand.

You can use a changeable pilot counterbore and a .310 pilot, or better, make a 1" long .312 pilot and use a .3125 reamer for yokes that are undersize, then the counterbore cutter.

You can put a file handle on the reamer and counterbore to use by hand. You don't want to use them in a power tool.

Great Idea WR Moore. I ran out to my lathe and made a .610 pilot out of hard stainless for my RCBS case trimmer. It works perfectly. Thanks for the info.

My mistake, I ment .310 pilot.

Power is making them again but they ain't cheap....

 

[WR Moore]

They never were.

Anybody have one that they'd be willing to "rent out"? I just need to true up on yoke a bit so $120+ is a bit steep. I'd pay shipping both ways and a "rental" fee.
