I've had the tools for quite some time, need to mic them again to make =
sure
they're OK. It's probably the person holding them, though. :-)

As you can see from the quote below,  this issue was discussed almost
exactly one year ago.  Contact Don Manino.  As you can see, from the =
recent
posts on center pin friction, there can be a considerable number of
variables besides the tool itself.

Mike,

I just bought a couple of sets the other day - I'll mic them on Monday =
and
see if they are as bad as the ones you got.

If this is common I'll have to have a talk with the people making them.

I currently have the Mannino broach kit from Schaff, but often get

How do the broaches differ from the straight reamers in consistency? Any
