Great video. I just bought a reamer and this really boosted my confidence in doing the job!

[@green.room.guitars]

Awesome to hear! I go slow and careful when trying new things. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for watching. More to come

I bought a RC plane propeller bit and chuck it in a drill press.... it bores out 8,9,10 MM from the rear of the headstock and costs maybe $15 and is well worth it! It can be used in an electric drill, but a drill press is more stable.

I like your idea the best😊

Since the reamer is tapered, is it worth going taking a pass from the other side as well? Im looking to upgrade my guitar from 8.8mm tuners to 10mm

[@green.room.guitars]

I've found that since the collar for the tuner doesn't reach the other end I don't find it necessary and the slight taper kind of ensure a somewhat tight fit.

@@green.room.guitars good to know, thanks for the advice!

See my reply above that I have gone to: a 10MM (modern diameter) tuner machines body for all my guitars with steel strings...
