Thanks for offer. We just want to have the ability to make typical small motor rotating mechanisms with shafts and bearings in short notice (like a shooter this year etc) without worrying about bearing issues etc.

My current thoughts are the bearings are all slightly undersized and there is a fair chance the reamer could easily do it. I don't think the races are that hardened. The bearings are only a dollar and change.
I suspect all I have to take off is a 0.001.
