Is there an alternative to reaming, whereby one goes to a smaller center pin and glue-sizes the birdseye hole? Regards, Norman.

Hi gang,
Does anyone know where you can get a set of reamers for repinning the old Steinway Teflon bushings? These are straight fluted reamers in the diameters .0480 through .0510. I don't see them listed at the Schaff site, and of course Pianotek is no more.
Thanks in advance!
