Don't waste your time going to a CNC machine shop. They will not have what you need. Buy the proper tool of make one. Picture a glow plug with the hot section replaced by a 7 mm drill bit. That's how I made mine, with a burned out glow plug and a 7 mm drill bit.

I am NOT talking about a machine shop....

I am talking about a shop that sells tools to machine shops.

This is where one obtains the highest quality reaming tools and that is where I'm gonna get my reamer from and make the tools
