Enlarging airhole on cyclone?

[AmandaD]

My cyclone arrived today from MOV. The airhole is the size of a pin ..... -it's ridiculously small LOL

So, on my RM2s I was easily able to use a bead reamer to enlarge, but with this one what's the best way to enlarge it (no drill press)?

I used a round pointed file and slowly spun it, taking test drags while I enlarged it.
It did create a slight burr, but was quick and easy.
Now.... How to make a 2nd hole...

note the burr

That worked - thanks!

Amanda, you haven't been North of the border have you ? I heard on the grapevine that Papa_Lazarou is partial to a bead reamer.....
