Renner bushing cloth calibration tool?

[Gene Nelson]

My experience with it is that it is suited for the pre-cut Renner bushing cloth. If the cloth is too difficult to pull through the flange hole you start by running the strip through the tool's largest hole then retry the strip in the flange hole. Go to the smaller sizes as needed. It has nothing to do with the need to ream for proper pin fit.
I have also found that purchasing bulk flange bushing cloth and tearing it to fit is a better way to go - cheaper too.

  List,

  pardon my ignorance...  But can someone tell me about this Renner flange bushing cloth calibration tool?  From my Wife's description of the picture in the Renner catalog, she tells me that it has 3 holes in it and is mounted in a handle.  This don't tell me much...  I'm just wondering about how the tool works.  Does it cut down on the need to ream?  It seems a little high in price if it don't.  Or maybe I just don't understand anything about the product...  I would like to order it and try it, but first I have to know what good it does.  When you can't see its nice when the company puts a short description of the tool in the catalog.  People who don't understand this business can't describe a tool vary well.  Thanks for the help!  Regards,
  Shawn
