Pipe Stem Drill?

[tulsagentleman]

I'm restoring some pipes to put up for sale. Several need to have a larger stem hole. Where can I buy a drill to open up the stem? I have seen them somewhere but now can't find them. Thanks.

I like to use a 5/32 tapered bit. Available in many hardware stores.

I think I will look in Lowes for this. Thanks.

I couldn't even find "jobber's length" drill bits at Lowes.

Do you mean the mortise? If not, what will be accomplished by widening the stem's airway? Some like a narrow-ish airway.
