   Tapered Pins

   .. of course I can make my own but for a one off project, but for a   
   repeat stock job I would like to buy them premade.   
      
      
   I'm cutting a mold for somebody that casts a body with a through hole.   
   There are nominal dimensions, but a tapered pin that knocks out easily   
   would be acceptable.  I can buy "standard" tapered pins and "standard"   
   tapered reamers, but when I was trying to spec it out it seems the pins   
   are available in sizes ranging down much smaller than the small end of   
   the reamer.  Or in other words, "WHAT?!?"   
      
   I went ahead and bought a couple sizes of pins that would be suitable   
   for the casting, and a 0-10 set of tapered reamers.  I don't know how   
   its going to work out, but I figure if worse comes to worse maybe I can   
   make a tapered D-Bit reamer that actually matches the pins.
