Just wondering if any one knows of some software that will allow you to design a chamber reamer. So that the digital file can be given to a tool maker as is. Google hasn't been able to point my mouse in the right direction.

CAD software = pretty much any
You should be able to do this and then convert and send in any file type your machine tool fabricator wants it in.
AutoCad is one of the most common, also take a look at Graphite 2-D/3-D software, easy to use and price is really reasonable : http://www.ashlar.com/2d-3d-drafting/2d-3d-cad-graphite.html

What is the characteristics of the "digital" file? That Graphite is $1400. Quick Design is available at Neco for $153.00 but may not meet your needs. You can take a look though http://www.neconos.com/details3a.htm

Fill in the blanks, and sketch in the freebore length, freebore diameter, and the leade angle.

Save yourself a bunch of headaches and use PTG's blank drawing. Most machining or grinding shops, and just about any other business that uses software generated drawings, don't care to work directly from someone else's files. They are going to draw it in their software their way. It sometimes causes more work for them and scrap parts. Unless you are on the exact same page, compatability issues are a real nightmare. Especially when a lot of CAD files are used to generate CAM files. AutoCad is about one of the worst when it comes to compatibility issues even when the drawings are created with and read by AutoCad's own software.
