I am looking for a new graphite reamer so I can round my rings up past size 7 so wondering which would you order? I see some very nice smooth round reamers and some octagon reamers? And who would you order from?

I'd like to be able to make up to a men's 13 and have no idea the mm that is. Guess I should look for a conversion chart to.

the wale one is 25 to 10 mm taper. size 13 is 22.33 mm so that would work.
generations has a few to chose from that taper to 25 mm and different prices .
either company is great

You need the octagonal reamer cited above. The edges on an octagonal reamer spread the glass out, while a smooth one just freezes the glass wherever it touches. I use an octagonal reamer for the necks of my vessels and with my stopper tool.

I have one of these, and it's the best tool I've ever owned...
