Reamers are just like a rose or woman, when you bump the petals together, they will bruise and

not give you the results you are?looking for, even worse, if it is a woman it could be a "see you in court job". Ouch,

I just felt my wallet shrink, or a happy relationship, the later I doubt.

I plastic coat (the old oil and hot wax melt) religiously?my reamers, end mills etc, and when you need

to use them, just peel off the wax, and throw it back into the?melting?pot for reuse.

I have an old Russian pre 1940 military camping stove that uses methylated?spirit and a well used saucepan to?

heat up the?wax. After a few projects, I light up the?stove and dip. Sounds OTT, but I just priced an 8 mm dia

solid carbide Sandvik end mill, what?I have is?almost at the end of life, but done a?lot of work over 8 years,?

These cutters retail out at $35, so it's a case of dip until?I get my Biden next benefit check LOL.?

This dipping not?only protects the edges (petals) but keeps?the dreaded rust off them as well.

Nice to hear from?you all, it's been a topsy turvy time for many months. DH is quiet, but the?light down the

tunnel is not the train coming at you, keep the faith.

Stay well, vigilant, and keep your mask on at all times, especially in the bathroom. LOL.

Best wishes.

Why is it said that reamers drills or other metal items should not touch when being stored?

I have a box of reamers from a yard sale that has > 50 reamers all lumped together in a wood box.

I cannot imagine how much room would be needed if all of these reamers were in individual holders.

These reamers have been together for years they were in the box before I bought it 10 years ago.

So why is it said to not allow them to touch?
