i'll try again with an intelligible list.
all i had was chicken scratch on binder paper.

Maybe we both learned something. I just reviewed the Machinery Handbook. Machine, hand and all the other reamers except for one do not have a back taper. The only one that does have a back taper is a Rose Chucking reamer. And it’s a little different than all the others. The lands are ground cylindrically. The only cutting action is at the front. This makes the diameter at the point with the beveled cutting edges slightly larger than the diameter further back. Taper should not exceed 0.001”/inch. And this kind of reamer typically cuts oversize. Hope this helps.No, it's pretty standard in the industry, actually. It keeps the edges that aren't actually doing any cutting from simply rubbing and adding to the driving friction and prematurely dulling, and in some cases more than a couple of tenths is used in situations where alignment is off in the holder to prevent the back of the reamer from cutting and oversizing the hole. Those cases may require 0.005-0.010/inch taper. I can't recall having to use that much taper, but 0.0002/0.0003 is pretty common.
Several references on cutting tools I found on line discuss it.
Great so what you are telling me is I won't remember what size to make my new belt.If there are any left over , sign me up, I thought I had already posted but apparently memory goes right after the waistline.
