Bear with me

[LesWard]

I was just thinking about how I am going to line up the reamer when I do my first chamber. I know just enough to be dangerous, so please pardon my carpenter terminology.
If I were to chuck up a piece of stock, bore a hole to accept a center drill, then, create an adapter to fit on either the tail stock, or possibly a tool holder on the carriage. Drill this adapter with the chucked up center drill to push the reamer. Am I missing anything? I realize that accuracy would depend on the condition of the ways.

Aloha Les
