Hi Jeremy. I made mine & i'm sure you are clever enough to as well. I just got an old thread tap I didn't use any more with enough meat on it, measured the taper you need & then grind on a lathe to that taper being sure to get all 4 cutting edges the same shape. Then go to a good grind stone & grind back from your new cutting edges the same as if you were sharpening a drill. This new tool will work great in a drill press or hand drill on low speed with some cutting oil to the depth required. I did this because of the dumb looks you get at a tool shop when asking for a tapered reamer.
