When refacing the head tube it frequently (most of the time) enlarges the bores in the head tube. The brass bushing eliminates the problem.
Not a different topic at all - I've already noted this issue and was going to put the 1" reamer on the tool to clear the 1-1/8" headtube I have to face - but I do not have a solution for 1" yet. Any chance I can *ahem* influence you to make another? Pretty please?

Do let me know...
