[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 3042130, member: 68758"] Why do you believe that using a flush system sacrifices accuracy?? NO truth to that statement. Dial it in. Pre-bore. Turn on the flush system and run the reamer. The flush system doesn't change anything with your setup, and reamers are form cutters and are going to follow the hole you bored. The biggest "issue" is that assuming you already have a pile of reamers, they're likely not set up for use with a flush system (grooved for flow)- so you're basically getting flow only through the grooves and if you use a live pilot you have to frequently back out to allow the chips to flush clear. Still WAAAY faster than manually clearing the chamber every pass. One day I'm going to be brave enough to ditch the pilots as they really shouldn't be necessary when pre-boring is done but I'm set in my ways...:) [/QUOTE]
