I recently purchased a king pin reamer on eBay, #113067150199 which is NOS KR Wilson. I collect old tools and always wanted one of these. It does appear to be NOS, no rust and mine came factory wrapped in an oil paper. It is marked KRW 1 006, K6. It has a square drive at one end.

My questions are:
The cutter is in the middle, how do you accurately support/hold the cutter while reaming a bushing? Is the end of the reamer in a bushing while you are cutting the other bushing?

What are you turning the reamer with, a tap holder?

What is the procedure to obtain a smooth clean cut?

What kind of lubricant is best to use while cutting?

Thanks for your help, Ed
