There is a reason the Reamer is NOT held in a Jacobs Chuck. The Chuck would Influence the Alignment, and that would be Off Center, By a LOT!!
Supporting the 17mm Reamer (For -2 Transaxle) from a 'Dead' Center, Assures Zero Error Axial Alignment. The 'Lip' of the Bore must first be Chamfered 45 Degrees to Mate with the Cutting Edges of the Reamer. This Guides the Start of the Reamer PERFECTLY! This is a Must of Importance.
ONLY When It Starts 'Straight'! Will It End 'Straight', Period!
Reaming Speed = 1/3 Drilling Speed. The Amount of Material LEFT After Boring, to be Reamed, Must be .010"-.015" PER SIDE. .020"-.030" MAX. TOTAL.
