Lance I don't know what they sell but every Martin I have done any work on has had 5 deg pins so I would assume that the reamer they sell would be 5 deg. |

You can pick up the one they sell at your local Ace Hardware, that's where I got mine. Martin has it for twenty bucks, click here. 
Searching Ace Online, turned up nothing, but if you have a good older hardware store they may have this tool. Mine was about $15 locally. |

If you want good reamers for bridge pins at a really reasonable price go to Grizzly. They are 1/2 the price of the StewMac products. |

I'll second buying from Grizzly. You can get a 3°, 5° and peghead reamer all for $49.95. Here is the link...Grizzly reamer set. |

Lance, I was picking up some termite treatment and passed over to tools to get these numbers for you. They are exactly the same as Martin Guitarmaker's connection. Both priced at 15 and 17 before contractor discount. Not bad full price. Lance you asked for degrees? It doesn't say on either tool or package, but they are correct for Martin pins. |
