| Subject: | Questions On Reamers |
I need to use a 6.4mm reamer for installing the bushings in the upper and
lower rudder hinge holes on my 601XL project. I am totally unfamiliar with
reamers. Can anyone educate me on the following:
- Is the goal to get a tight fit of the bushing in the hole?
- Is it best to purchase a reamer with a "fixed" size, or do the
adjustable reamers work OK?
- Most of the reamers I looked at online do not appear to have tapered
flutes - how do you start a reamer in the hole if the flutes are not
tapered?
- Is it best to turn the reamer by hand to get the best accuracy, and
if so, what type of reamer do I need to get, (most reamers I found online
were defined as "high-speed" or "high-speed chucking")?
- I checked the sources mentioned in earlier posts to the list, but I
cannot find a 6.4mm reamer - I can find a .252" reamer, but that is a little
larger than 6.4mm - does anyone know a source for this particular size?
Thanks for your help,

| Subject: | 601XL - Lower Elevator Cable Rear Fairlead Question |
I need some advice on installation of the lower elevator cable rear fairlead
(6B24-1) to the front H.T. frame (6B1-1). Construction Guide 6-B-1 p. 5
instructs to install the fairing, then trace the outline of the lightening
hole in the front H.T. frame onto the fairing and cut it out on this line.
If I do this, it looks like the fairing will not provide a "stand-off" from
the top of the lightening hole, which would result in the cable potentially
rubbing against the top of the lightening hole. There are no other details
provided in the plans regarding positioning of the fairlead. Do I need to
provide some stand-off on this fairing, and if so, how much?
Thanks,

Dave,
You only need to mount that faring so that the curved edge is about 1/8"
inside the edge of the lightening hold.=C2- The purpose is simply to ha
ve the cable rub against the fairing and not the metal of the lightening
hole flange.

the most important objective is to get the upper and lower
holes in rudder hinges part numbers 6b2-4 and 6b2-6
so that the holes will accept a straight line and not be offset
iused a hand reamer to fit bushings snug but removable
you can probably get the same results with a good drillbit
a good source for reamers is MSC tel #1-800-645-7270

A letter "F" drill is the equivalent of 6.4 mm. Hand reamers usually have
spiral flutes and a slight taper on the end. Machine reamers usually have
straight flutes and a small chamfer on the ernd.
