All KR Wilson and also Stevens main bearing reamers were "standard" If you find an undersized reamer it had to be re-ground. Undersize main bearing reamers are scarce as hens teeth. When I was rebuilding engines in the 1980s-1990s I had three reamers re-ground. A .005, a .010, and a .015. The place that re-ground mine went out of business. I have been trying to find someone else to grind them trying to help out other people that wanted some re-ground. I have been looking about three years now and nobody even wants to mess with them. I still have mine but I can not replace them in today's world. If you find someone to grind them please pass on the info. Good luck with your search.

Thirty years ago I had my KRW reamers ground to -.010 and -.020 by a business in Costa Mesa, CA named "Daily Industrial Tool". A quick internet search indicates they are still in business. Their number is (714) 540-6622. You might want to start by calling them and asking if they have the name of someone closer to your location that they can recommend.

Pretty sure these guys could sharpen them- ask for Cliff.

Looks like another good lead.

Dick Dock,
I have a T reamer that measures around 1.247 that I would sell.
It has the square shank drive end.

Dick Dock, here are pictures of the reamer.
I am asking $150 plus shipping for it.

Thanks for the leads on grinders. I still have my reamers I had re-ground 30 or so years ago. So I'm not really in need but I do know a few folks who may give them a try.
