I believe I used 220 and 350 grit. Note that you don't really have any accurate cutting guide on the sander so you have to check with your calipers a lot. When all done with that, put all the fingers on a drill bit or something that is a perfect 1/2". then you clamp the fingers in a vise and using a long strip of sandpaper, with a shoeshine motion, you sand them all even.
As for the reamer, I use them the same way as a drill bit...plunge it down thru the hole, and back up thru and bob's your uncle
I plan to start on mine soon, and will follow the procedure you describe
here.
Thanks for this info.!
