9x19 reamer

I found D bit cutters while looking for methods of chambering the Welrod without buying a reamer. After cutting the profile in a collet chuck I swapped to a 4 jaw and dialed in a .010” offset to cut the back relief. Then milled out half of it on the mill. The front section is a guide which is why I didn’t mill half of it off. Made this one out of O1 tool steel and hardened with a torch. The chamber finish came out decent enough for my uses.

Did you add relief or a margin or just "sent it" after milling down to half the dismeter?

Nice! I single point turn pistol chambers with a solid carbide boring bar. I do it on CNC but for straight wall pistol cartridges I'm sure it would work well on a manual also.

I did a .22 with a 2.5mm hss endmill in the turrent of the lathe and used the cross slide.
Worked like a charm

The side project fairy has blessed you it seems.
Just be glad it didn’t demand you make a tapered honing tool.
