I can't seem to find in the McMaster-Carr catalog the proper Reamer bits for carter and Edelbrock metering jets.
looking for .122 up to .135 reamer bits.
There is suppose to be a special reamer so no inside burrs occur. I want to use Q16 in the blue dodge for the rest of the year and once the air gets better, I'll be lean for sure with .119 metering jets.
Anyone know where to find them?
 
I believe I bought my drill/reamer set from one of the toolmen that used to come in my shop. I think the Matco guy got them for me but it was about 30 years ago. I remember a toolman getting them for me. I have 2 sets as one is from .007 to .039 and the other is from .041 to .185 and they come with a little hand reamer for them. I got the real small set so I could drill squiters and air bleeds also. Ron

What you want for brass is a sharp tool with no rake angle so I'd try the straight flute reamer. You might also try to give the reamer something to bite into so don't try and take only .002". Try maybe .010". If you drill brass you better not use regular drill bits because they will grab and pull the bit in, possibly ruining the part.

MEEP don't see the straight FLUTE Reamers.
 
I thought jets are not supposed to be drilled due to the taper in the hole. Is that only true for Holley style jets?
 
big thumbs up to jet doc (Adam). who sent me 2 .125 reamers so I can get some more jet in these .119's
good guy alert right here!
 
I guess it doesn't matter now, but click on High-Speed Steel and Cobalt
Steel Chucking Reamers
then scroll down.

Never drilled any brass that small but what we did was to take the sharp edge off the drills (dubbed or dulled drill bit) so they didn't grab. Drilling a new hole with a sharp drill worked but enlarging an existing hole, the drill needs to be dulled a little.
